Engineered for commercial distribution, the Siemens NEB2B045B provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection for 45A circuits. This 2-pole breaker features fixed long-time and instantaneous trip functions to safeguard infrastructure. It mounts into Siemens P1 through P5 panelboards via a secure bolt-on connection. For facility upgrades, this unit is replaced by the 3VA5145-5ED21-0AA0 (requires mounting kit). Rated 35kAIC at 480V, it is HACR and HID rated for specialized applications.
Which panelboards accept the Siemens NEB2B045B circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for installation in Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 commercial panelboards. It secures directly to the bus bar for a stable, vibration-resistant connection.
Can the NEB2B045B be installed in a standard residential load center?
No. This is a bolt-on breaker engineered specifically for commercial and industrial panelboards. It will not fit in plug-on residential load centers such as the Siemens SN or PN series.
What wire sizes are compatible with the load lugs on this breaker?
The included load-side lugs accept 14 AWG through 1/0 AWG copper or aluminum conductors. Always refer to the breaker faceplate for specific torque requirements during installation.
Is the NEB2B045B suitable for direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for 250VDC applications with a 35kA interrupting capacity.
What trip functions are included in the NEB2B045B?
It features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit providing long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection. The thermal and magnetic trip settings are factory fixed and cannot be adjusted in the field.
What is the difference between Siemens NEB and HEB frame breakers?
Both utilize the same physical frame size and bolt-on mounting for P-series panelboards, but HEB breakers offer a higher interrupting capacity (AIC rating) than the standard NEB frame.
