Siemens FXD62B080 Molded Case Circuit Breaker

This FD-frame breaker is compatible with Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, as well as Sentron switchboards, motor control centers, and Sentron enclosures. Specific mounting hardware or strap kits are required depending on the exact panel or enclosure.

Yes, the Siemens FXD62B080 serves as a direct replacement for legacy ITE and Siemens-Allis 2-pole FXD6 breakers. It shares the same physical dimensions, mounting footprint, and bolt-on configuration.

This breaker features a fixed thermal element for overload protection and an adjustable magnetic trip for short-circuit protection. The magnetic trip can be adjusted via a dial on the front of the breaker to fine-tune the instantaneous trip threshold based on the specific load requirements.

No, standard Siemens FXD6 breakers are standard-rated. For continuous loads, the breaker should be applied at no more than 80 percent of its 80A nominal rating in accordance with standard NEC guidelines.

Standard Siemens Sentron FD-frame thermal-magnetic breakers are generally suitable for reverse feed applications unless specifically marked with Line and Load designations. Always verify the physical markings on the breaker faceplate prior to reverse feeding.

No, the FXD62B080 is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker providing only long-time (overload) and instantaneous (short-circuit) protection. It does not include equipment ground fault (GFPE), personnel ground fault (GFCI), or arc fault (AFCI) protection.

Installing the FXD62B080 in Siemens P1, P2, or P3 panelboards requires a specific strap kit or mounting hardware kit, which is sold separately. The exact kit depends on the panelboard type and whether it is a single or twin mount configuration.

Yes, this breaker includes factory-installed line and load lugs suitable for both copper and aluminum conductors. Always refer to the breaker label for proper torque specifications during installation.
