Product FAQs
7 answersWhat enclosures are compatible with the Siemens HED42B060L circuit breaker?
This ED-frame breaker is compatible with Siemens Sentron Type ED circuit breaker enclosures, including models like the E2N1F (NEMA 1), E2N12K (NEMA 12), and E2N3R (NEMA 3R). It is also designed for use in Siemens Sentron panelboards and switchboards.
What does the "L" suffix in the HED42B060L catalog number indicate?
The "L" suffix indicates that the breaker comes factory-assembled with both line and load lugs included. If ordered without the "L" (as HED42B060), the lugs are not pre-installed and must be sourced separately.
What is the difference between Siemens ED4 and HED4 circuit breakers?
The "H" in HED4 designates a high interrupting rating. While a standard ED4 breaker is typically rated for 18kAIC at 480VAC, the HED4 series provides a higher 42kAIC rating at 480VAC for systems with higher available fault currents.
Is there a newer direct replacement for the HED42B060L?
Yes, Siemens has superseded this legacy Sentron ED-frame breaker with the newer 3VA series. The direct replacement for the HED42B060L is catalog number 3VA5160-6EC21-0AA0.
Can the HED42B060L circuit breaker be reverse fed?
Yes, this ED-frame breaker features a non-interchangeable trip unit and is suitable for reverse feed applications in accordance with UL 489 standards.
What is the replacement lug part number for the HED42B060L?
If you need to replace the factory-installed lugs, the correct Siemens part number is LN1E100. These lugs accept 10 AWG to 1/0 AWG copper or aluminum wire.
Is the HED42B060L suitable for HVAC applications?
Yes, this circuit breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
