Engineered for commercial applications, the Siemens E43B045 delivers robust overcurrent protection. This 3-pole, 45A molded case circuit breaker features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit and is HACR rated. The bolt-on design mounts into Siemens Sentron P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, F2 panelboards, and SB switchboards. It serves as a replacement for older E-frame units and is superseded by the ED43B045. With an 18 kAIC rating at 480VAC, it handles demanding electrical distribution tasks.
This bolt-on breaker is designed for use in Siemens Sentron panelboards (P1, P2, and P3), F2 panelboards, and SB switchboards.
Is the E43B045 still manufactured, or is there a direct replacement?
The E43B045 is a discontinued E-frame breaker. It has been superseded by the Siemens ED43B045, which serves as the direct replacement for 45A, 3-pole applications in Sentron panels.
What wire sizes and materials are accepted by the lugs on this breaker?
The factory lugs accept 10 AWG to 1/0 AWG wire and are rated for both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation.
Can the E43B045 be used in DC electrical systems?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for DC applications up to 250VDC, providing an interrupting capacity of 10kAIC at that voltage.
Is the E43B045 suitable for HVAC applications?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
Does this breaker provide both overload and short-circuit protection?
Yes, it features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed long-time (L) and instantaneous (I) trip functions to protect against both overloads and short circuits.
How does the E43B045 connect to the panel bus?
It features a bolt-on connection type, meaning it bolts directly to the panelboard bus for a secure mechanical and electrical connection, rather than snapping onto a DIN rail or plug-in bus.
