Built for heavy-duty power distribution, the Siemens HE3B050 delivers 50 amps of thermal-magnetic protection. This 3-pole MCCB is ideal for commercial and industrial facilities requiring dependable long-time and instantaneous trip functions. Designed with a bolt-on mounting style, it fits seamlessly into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards. Facilities looking to upgrade can substitute this component with the newer HED63B050 breaker. With a 25kAIC rating at 480VAC, it handles fault currents.
Which panelboards are compatible with the HE3B050 breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for installation in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, as well as legacy ITE panelboards.
