A drop-in replacement for aging commercial systems, the Siemens HJ3B150 is a 3-pole, 150A molded case circuit breaker designed for industrial applications. It provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection with an interchangeable trip unit. This legacy breaker installs into Siemens P4 and P5 panelboards. Using the original HJ frame avoids the costly mounting hardware required when upgrading to the newer HFD63B150 substitute. Rated 100kAIC at 240V, it delivers high interrupting capacity.

What panelboards are compatible with the Siemens HJ3B150?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for installation in Siemens P4 and P5 panelboards, as well as compatible Siemens switchboards.
Are terminal lugs included with the HJ3B150 breaker?
No, terminal lugs are not included with this unit. You will need to source the appropriate lug kits separately to terminate 4 AWG to 300 kcmil aluminum or copper conductors.
Can the trip settings be adjusted on the HJ3B150?
Yes, this breaker features an interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit. While the thermal, or long-time, overload protection is fixed, the magnetic, or instantaneous, short-circuit protection is adjustable to suit your specific application.
What does the LI trip function indicate on this Siemens breaker?
The LI code stands for Long-Time and Instantaneous trip functions. Long-Time provides delayed tripping for standard overloads, while Instantaneous offers immediate tripping during severe short circuits.
Can the trip unit be swapped out on the HJ3B150?
Yes, it comes complete with an interchangeable trip unit. This allows panel builders to replace or upgrade the trip unit without having to remove the entire breaker frame from the panelboard or switchboard.
Is the HJ3B150 an ITE or Siemens breaker?
This legacy molded case circuit breaker was originally manufactured under the ITE brand and later produced by Siemens. Both brands use the HJ3B150 catalog number and the breakers are fully interchangeable.
