Built for commercial power distribution, this 90A bolt-on molded case circuit breaker features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit for precise long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection. It mounts into Siemens Sentron P2 and P3 panelboards as well as compatible switchboards. Delivering a robust 100kAIC rating at 240VAC and 42kAIC at 480VAC, it handles demanding electrical environments. This specific ED-frame model is eventually replaced by the 3VA5190-6EC21-0AA0 with a mounting kit.

Can the HED42B090 be used in direct current applications?
Yes, this breaker is rated for DC systems up to 250VDC, providing an interrupting capacity of 30kAIC in those environments.
Are the thermal and magnetic trip settings adjustable?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. The long-time and instantaneous trip functions are factory set and cannot be modified in the field.
What frame family does this breaker belong to?
It is part of the Siemens ED Frame family. This frame size is common across several Sentron series breakers, ensuring standardized physical dimensions for panelboard mounting and accessory compatibility.
