Engineered for heavy-duty commercial applications, the Siemens FXD63B250 is a 3-pole, 250A molded case circuit breaker. This FD frame breaker integrates into Siemens Sentron P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. It is replaced by the newer 3VA5225-5EC31-0AA0 model, which requires a specific mounting kit for panelboard use. Delivering 35kAIC at 480VAC, it features an adjustable magnetic trip. Lugs are not included and require the TA1FD350A kit.
No, this model is typically shipped without lugs installed. If your application requires line and load lugs, you will need to purchase a compatible lug kit separately, such as the TA1FD350A, which accepts #6 AWG to 350 kcmil copper or aluminum conductors.
Which panelboards and distribution equipment accommodate this breaker?
The FXD63B250 is designed for integration into Siemens Sentron P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, as well as Siemens switchboards, enclosures, and motor control centers.
Is the FXD63B250 suitable for reverse-feed installations?
Yes, this FD-frame molded case circuit breaker is UL listed for reverse-feed applications, offering flexibility for back-fed main breaker configurations.
What mounting kits are required to install this as a main breaker?
When using this unit as a main breaker in an original Siemens P1 panelboard, the MBKFD3 mounting kit is required. For newer, revised P1 panelboards, you will need the MBKFD3A main breaker kit.
What type of protection does the built-in LI trip unit offer?
The thermal-magnetic LI (Long-Time, Instantaneous) trip unit provides continuous overload protection via a fixed thermal element, along with rapid short-circuit defense through an adjustable magnetic instantaneous setting.
What breaker frame family does the FXD63B250 belong to?
It is part of the Siemens Sentron FD frame class. The FXD designation specifically denotes a unit-mount, bolt-on model with a standard interrupting capacity up to 600VAC within the broader FD frame group.
Can the FXD63B250 be utilized in ungrounded DC battery or UPS systems?
Yes, this breaker is rated for DC applications. It provides DC interrupting ratings of 30kA at 250VDC and 14kA at 500VDC, making it suitable for standard DC power distribution and 500VDC ungrounded UPS systems.
Can I add internal accessories to the FXD63B250?
Yes, this breaker supports field-installable internal accessories. It can be equipped with compatible FD-frame shunt trips, undervoltage releases, auxiliary switches, and alarm switches to suit specific control schemes.
