Product FAQs
7 answers
Is the Siemens CFD63B150L a current-limiting circuit breaker?
Yes, the CFD63B150L is a current-limiting, fuseless molded case circuit breaker. It provides an ultra-high interrupting capacity of 200kA at 480VAC and 100kA at 600VAC without requiring external fuses.
What is the adjustable magnetic trip range for this 150A CFD6 breaker?
The adjustable magnetic trip range for the 150A CFD63B150L is 800A to 1500A. The thermal trip is fixed at 150A.
Which standalone enclosures are compatible with the CFD63B150L?
This FD-frame breaker can be installed in Siemens F6N1S (NEMA 1 surface mount), F6N1F (NEMA 1 flush mount), and F6N3R (NEMA 3R outdoor) circuit breaker enclosures.
What is the difference between the CFD63B150L and the FD63B150 or HFD63B150?
All three are 150A, 3-pole FD-frame breakers, but they have different interrupting ratings. The FD63B150 is standard interrupting (35kA at 480V), the HFD63B150 is high interrupting (65kA at 480V), and the CFD63B150L is the current-limiting version with an ultra-high 200kA at 480V rating.
Does the CFD63B150L require a mounting kit for panelboards?
Yes. Because the CFD63B150L is a unit-mount breaker, installing it into a Siemens P1, P2, or P3 panelboard requires the appropriate strap kit or mounting hardware specific to the panelboard type.
What is the safety benefit of a current-limiting breaker like the CFD63B150L?
Current-limiting breakers clear severe faults extremely fast, reducing the peak let-through current and thermal energy that reaches downstream equipment. This minimizes potential damage to the electrical system during a short circuit.
What does the "L" suffix mean in the CFD63B150L catalog number?
The "L" suffix indicates that the circuit breaker is factory-assembled with line and load lugs. Breakers without this suffix are typically supplied as the frame and trip unit only, requiring lugs to be purchased separately.
