Engineered for commercial power distribution, the Siemens JD23B225 is a 225-amp molded case circuit breaker from the Sentron JD2 frame family. It provides robust overcurrent protection for demanding electrical environments. This bolt-on MCCB installs into Siemens Sentron panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. It serves as a replacement for older units and is superseded by the JD63B225. Rated for 65 kAIC at 240VAC, it features an adjustable magnetic trip and HACR rating.
Is there a newer replacement for the Siemens JD23B225?
Yes, the JD23B225 is a legacy J-frame breaker. Siemens has superseded this model with the JD63B225 for modern Sentron applications.
What equipment is the JD23B225 designed to fit?
This bolt-on MCCB installs directly into Siemens Sentron panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. It is also compatible with standalone Siemens enclosures designed for J-frame breakers.
What are the wire capacity limits for the JD23B225 lugs?
The included lugs accommodate dual conductors per phase. They accept two 3/0 AWG to 500 kcmil copper wires, or two 4/0 AWG to 500 kcmil aluminum wires.
Can the JD23B225 be installed in DC power systems?
Yes, this breaker is certified for direct current applications up to 250VDC, where it delivers a 30kA interrupting rating.
How is the trip unit configured on this J-frame breaker?
The thermal-magnetic trip unit provides LI (Long-Time and Instantaneous) protection. The thermal overload element is fixed, while the magnetic short-circuit pickup is adjustable to coordinate with downstream loads.
Is the JD23B225 physically interchangeable with other Siemens J-frame breakers?
Yes, it shares the standard JD2 frame footprint, making it physically interchangeable with other legacy J-frame breakers in Sentron panelboards, provided the amperage and interrupting ratings meet your system requirements.
