Built for commercial and industrial applications, the Siemens SHMD69600ANT is a 3-pole, 600A molded case circuit breaker from the Sentron MD-Frame series. It provides reliable overcurrent and short-circuit protection for heavy-duty electrical systems. This unit-mount breaker installs into Siemens Sentron panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. For legacy upgrades, it is replaced by the 3VA6560-6HN32-0AA0, which requires a retrofit kit for older Sentron enclosures.

Product FAQs
7 answers
Where can the SHMD69600ANT be installed?
This unit-mount, bolt-on breaker is designed for installation in Siemens Sentron panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.
Can the SHMD69600ANT be used in reverse feed applications?
Yes, this Sentron series breaker is acceptable for reverse connection applications, allowing flexibility in wiring configurations for panel builders.
What frame size does the SHMD69600ANT use?
It is built on the Siemens Sentron MD frame platform. While the MD frame supports up to 800A, this specific model is equipped with a 600A solid-state trip unit.
How does the LSI electronic trip unit function on this breaker?
The solid-state trip unit provides adjustable Long-Time, Short-Time, and Instantaneous (LSI) trip functions. It also features True RMS sensing for accurate current measurement and precise coordination.
What are the lug wire size requirements for the SHMD69600ANT?
The factory-installed line and load lugs accept three 1/0 AWG to 500 kcmil copper or aluminum (Cu/Al) conductors per phase.
What is the direct replacement for the legacy SHMD69600ANT?
Siemens replaces this legacy Sentron breaker with the 3VA6560-6HN32-0AA0. When upgrading older Sentron enclosures to the new 3VA series, a retrofit kit is required for proper installation.
Is the SHMD69600ANT suitable for HVAC applications?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with commercial heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
