Product FAQs
6 answersWhich enclosures and panelboards are compatible with the CPD63B160?
This PD frame breaker is designed for heavy-duty commercial and industrial power distribution. It is directly compatible with Siemens Type S5 and Type SPP panelboards, as well as Sentron switchboards and motor control centers.
What does the LI trip function specify on this Sentron breaker?
The LI designation indicates a thermal magnetic trip unit equipped with Long-Time (L) overload protection and Instantaneous (I) short-circuit protection. On this specific model, the thermal element is fixed, while the magnetic trip threshold is adjustable to coordinate with downstream loads.
What do the lug specifications mean for wiring the CPD63B160?
The standard lug configuration requires four to five conductors per phase. The terminals accommodate 300 kcmil to 600 kcmil aluminum (Al) or copper (Cu) wire, allowing for flexible parallel cable runs in high-amperage installations.
Is the Sentron CPD63B160 still actively manufactured by Siemens?
The Sentron PD frame is a legacy product line that has been phased out by the manufacturer. For new installations or complete panel upgrades, Siemens recommends transitioning to the current 3VA molded case circuit breaker series.
How is the CPD63B160 secured within an enclosure?
As a unit-mount, bolt-on circuit breaker, it requires bolted connections directly to the busbar or mounting assembly. This provides the necessary mechanical support and secure electrical contact required for a 1600A frame.
Can the trip unit on the CPD63B160 be swapped in the field?
No, this breaker is supplied complete with a non-interchangeable thermal magnetic trip unit. The trip assembly is factory-installed and cannot be removed or upgraded to a different amperage or electronic trip curve.
