Engineered for commercial and industrial applications, the Siemens HFXD63B070 is a 70A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker from the Sentron FD frame series. It provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection for demanding electrical systems. This bolt-on MCCB is designed to install into Siemens P2, P3, S4, and S5 panelboards. It features a feed-thru connection design supplied without lugs. Rated for high interrupting capacity, it delivers 65kAIC at 480VAC and is HACR rated.
What panelboards are compatible with the HFXD63B070?
This Sentron FD-frame breaker is designed for installation in Siemens P2, P3, S4, and S5 series panelboards.
What is the standard lug kit for this 70A FD-frame breaker?
The standard lug kit for Siemens 70A to 250A FD-frame breakers is the TA1FD350A. It accepts 6 AWG to 350 kcmil copper or 4 AWG to 350 kcmil aluminum conductors.
What is the difference between the FXD63B070 and the HFXD63B070?
The H prefix designates the high-interrupting capacity version of the Sentron FD-frame. The HFXD63B070 provides a higher short-circuit interrupting rating than the standard FXD63B070, making it suitable for distribution systems with higher available fault currents.
How should this 3-pole breaker be wired for 500VDC applications?
When applying this breaker on 500V ungrounded DC systems, Siemens requires connecting the power supply in a series zig-zag configuration across all three poles. This ensures proper arc interruption and safely utilizes the DC voltage rating.
How is the trip unit configured on the HFXD63B070?
This breaker features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with a fixed thermal element for long-time overload protection and an adjustable magnetic element. The magnetic dial on the front allows you to fine-tune the instantaneous short-circuit response to prevent nuisance tripping during high inrush currents.
Can I install this FD-frame breaker in a space designed for an ED-frame?
No. The FD-frame is physically larger and designed for higher-capacity feeder applications than the ED-frame. They require different mounting hardware, strap kits, and panelboard spacing.
