Serving as a robust protection solution, the Siemens EF3B125 is a 125A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker. It utilizes fixed thermal and magnetic trip elements to safeguard commercial circuits up to 600VAC. Designed for bolt-on installation, it fits into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards as well as older I-T-E systems. While this legacy EF-frame model is highly sought after, it is replaced by the ED63B125. The breaker provides a 14kAIC rating at 480VAC and accommodates 4-3/0 AWG wire.
Which panelboards are compatible with the EF3B125 circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed to fit modern Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards. It is also fully backwards compatible with legacy I-T-E panelboards that accept E frame breakers.
What is the current replacement for the legacy EF3B125?
The EF3B125 is part of the legacy EF frame series. For new installations or direct replacements, Siemens now offers the Sentron ED frame equivalent under catalog number ED63B125.
Are the thermal and magnetic trip elements adjustable on this model?
No, this breaker utilizes a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. It provides standard long time and instantaneous (LI) protection but cannot be adjusted in the field.
Can this breaker be used in direct current (DC) applications?
Yes, while primarily used in AC systems up to 600VAC, the EF3B125 is also rated for 250VDC systems with a 10kA interrupting capacity.
Does the EF3B125 include both line and load side lugs?
No, as a panelboard-mounted bolt-on breaker, the line side connects directly to the panel bus. It comes complete with load side lug terminals that accept 4 AWG to 3/0 AWG copper or aluminum wire.
