Product FAQs
6 answers
Which Siemens panelboards and switchboards are compatible with the CPD63B120 breaker?
This unit mount PD frame breaker is designed for installation in Siemens Type S5 and Type SPP panelboards, as well as Sentron switchboards and motor control centers.
What are the standard lug wire size requirements for this 1200A breaker?
The factory lugs accept 3 to 4 conductors per phase, accommodating 300 to 600 kcmil aluminum or copper wire. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation to prevent thermal issues.
Does the CPD63B120 feature adjustable trip settings?
Yes, it utilizes a thermal magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal (Long-Time) protection and an adjustable magnetic (Instantaneous) trip function. This allows panel builders to tune the short-circuit response based on the specific load requirements.
Is this breaker rated for direct current (DC) applications?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this breaker is rated for DC systems. It provides a 30kA interrupting capacity at 250VDC and 50kA at 500VDC, making it versatile for specialized industrial power systems.
What frame size does the CPD63B120 belong to?
This breaker is part of the Siemens Sentron series PD frame group. When sourcing internal accessories like shunt trips, undervoltage releases, or auxiliary switches, ensure they are specifically listed for Sentron PD frames.
What is the maximum fault current this breaker can safely interrupt at 480V?
It features a high interrupting rating of 100kA at 480VAC. This robust rating ensures safe clearing of severe faults, making it suitable for heavy industrial facilities with high available fault currents.
