Engineered for heavy-duty commercial and industrial power distribution, the Siemens CFD62B250 is a 2-pole, 250A molded case circuit breaker. It features a fuseless, current-limiting design with blow-apart contacts to rapidly clear severe electrical faults. This FD-Frame breaker installs into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, as well as motor control centers, using a secure bolt-on connection. It provides reliable fixed thermal and adjustable magnetic trip functions for customized protection.

Product FAQs
7 answers
What does the C in the CFD62B250 catalog number indicate?
The C designates this as a current-limiting circuit breaker. It features a fuseless design that restricts the amount of fault energy let-through during a short circuit, providing a higher interrupting capacity than standard FD-frame breakers.
Which lug kit is required for the CFD62B250?
The standard line and load lug kit for 250A Siemens FD-frame breakers is the TA1FD350A. This kit accepts one copper or aluminum conductor from 6 AWG to 350 kcmil per phase.
What types of enclosures and panels accept this breaker?
The CFD62B250 is designed for unit mounting in Siemens Sentron P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, as well as compatible switchboards, motor control centers, and standalone enclosures that accommodate FD-frame breakers.
How does the CFD62B250 differ from the FD62B250 or HFD62B250?
All three are 250A, 2-pole FD-frame breakers, but they have different interrupting ratings. The FD62B250 is the standard-interrupting version, the HFD62B250 is high-interrupting, and the CFD62B250 is the ultra-high, current-limiting version rated for 200kA at 480VAC.
How is the trip unit configured on this breaker?
The CFD62B250 features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with a fixed thermal setting for continuous overload protection and an adjustable magnetic setting to fine-tune the instantaneous short-circuit response.
Can the CFD62B250 be used in DC power systems?
Yes, this breaker is rated for use in DC applications up to 250VDC with an interrupting capacity of 30kA. When used on 250VDC systems, standard practice requires wiring one pole on each leg of the supply circuit.
Does this breaker mount to a DIN rail?
No, the CFD62B250 is a bolt-on, unit-mount molded case circuit breaker. It requires specific mounting hardware to bolt directly to the bus or mounting pan in a panelboard or enclosure, rather than snapping onto a DIN rail.
