Product FAQs
7 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the CFD63B125 breaker?
This breaker is designed for use in Siemens Sentron P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, as well as compatible switchboards, motor control centers, and standalone enclosures.
Does this breaker fit into standard residential load centers?
No, the CFD frame is an industrial molded case circuit breaker designed for commercial and industrial Sentron panelboards and switchboards. It is not compatible with standard residential load centers.
What wire sizes and materials are accepted by the terminals?
The lugs accept copper wire from 6 AWG to 350 kcmil and aluminum wire from 4 AWG to 350 kcmil. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation.
Is the CFD63B125 a plug-in or bolt-on circuit breaker?
It is a unit mount, bolt-on circuit breaker. It requires bolted connections to the busbar or mounting assembly rather than snapping into place.
How does the trip unit operate on this FD frame breaker?
It features a thermal magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal and adjustable magnetic settings. This allows for precise tuning of the short-circuit response while maintaining a set overload threshold.
What type of protection does the LI trip function provide?
The LI designation indicates it delivers long-time protection against sustained overloads and instantaneous protection against severe short circuits, safeguarding your electrical system from thermal damage.
Can this breaker be used in DC applications?
Yes, it is rated for up to 500VDC with an interrupting capacity of 50kA, making it suitable for specific direct current systems alongside its standard AC ratings.
