Built for commercial power distribution, the Siemens HE2B030 is a 2-pole, 30A molded case circuit breaker from the legacy HE series. It provides dependable thermal-magnetic protection for facility circuits. This unit mounts into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards via a bolt-on connection. As a discontinued model, it serves as a replacement for older setups and is replaced by the HED42B030. Rated 65kAIC at 240V, it features fixed long-time and instantaneous trip functions.
Which panelboards are compatible with the HE2B030 circuit breaker?
This E-frame breaker is designed for bolt-on installation in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards.
Is the Siemens HE2B030 interchangeable with the ITE HE2B030?
Yes. Siemens acquired ITE, and the HE2B030 catalog number remains the same across both brands. An ITE-branded HE2B030 is functionally identical to the Siemens version.

The factory-installed lugs accept 10 AWG through 1/0 AWG wire. They are rated for use with both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors.
Can the HE2B030 be used in DC voltage applications?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for DC systems, providing up to 10kA interrupting capacity at 250VDC.
What is the maximum fault current rating for this breaker at 480VAC?
It provides an interrupting capacity of 25kA at 480VAC, making it suitable for commercial and industrial distribution systems requiring that specific fault current rating.
Does this breaker feature an interchangeable trip unit?
No, the HE2B030 features a non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions.
