Engineered for industrial applications, the Siemens CJD63B250 is a 3-pole, 250A MCCB from the Sentron family. This JD-frame unit provides reliable overcurrent protection. Designed for unit mounting, it installs into Siemens P4 and P5 panelboards, switchboards, and enclosures. It accepts 3/0 AWG to 500 kcmil wire. Featuring a fuseless, current-limiting design, it achieves a 200kAIC rating at 240VAC. The thermal-magnetic trip unit offers adjustable magnetic settings (LI).

Product FAQs
6 answers
Which Siemens panelboards accept the CJD63B250 circuit breaker?
This unit-mount JD-frame breaker is compatible with Siemens P4 and P5 panelboards, as well as Siemens switchboards and standalone enclosures.
Is the CJD63B250 a current-limiting breaker?
Yes, the CJD frame features a fuseless, current-limiting design. This restricts the amount of fault energy that passes through the breaker, allowing it to achieve an ultra-high interrupting rating of 150kA at 480VAC and 100kA at 600VAC.
How does the CJD63B250 compare to the JD63B250 and HJD63B250?
While all three are 250A, 3-pole JD-frame breakers, they differ in interrupting capacity and trip unit design. The JD63B250 is standard capacity, the HJD63B250 is high capacity, and the CJD63B250 is a current-limiting breaker with the highest interrupting ratings. Additionally, the CJD model uses a non-interchangeable trip unit.
What wire sizes are supported by the CJD63B250 lugs?
The breaker accepts copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 3/0 AWG to 500 kcmil. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation as outlined on the breaker faceplate.
Does the CJD63B250 have an adjustable trip unit?
It features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with a fixed thermal element for long-time overload protection and an adjustable magnetic element for instantaneous short-circuit protection. This allows you to tune the magnetic trip point to coordinate with downstream devices or specific load requirements.
Can the CJD63B250 be used in DC power systems?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this breaker is rated for a 50kA interrupting capacity at 500VDC, making it suitable for DC power distribution and battery backup applications.
