Product FAQs
8 answers
What does the "L" suffix mean in the HED43B020L catalog number?
The "L" indicates that the breaker is factory-assembled and shipped with both line and load side lugs installed.
How does the HED4 series differ from the standard ED4 series?
Both utilize the same physical ED frame, but the HED4 is the high-interrupting version. The HED43B020L provides a 42kAIC rating at 480VAC, which is higher than the standard ED4 rating.
What are the wire gauge requirements for the HED43B020L lugs?
The factory-installed lugs accept 14-10 AWG copper (Cu) conductors or 12-10 AWG aluminum (Al) conductors.
Where can the HED43B020L circuit breaker be installed?
This unit-mount ED frame breaker is compatible with Siemens enclosures, switchboards, and motor control centers.
Is the HED43B020L suitable for direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, it is rated for use on DC systems up to 250VDC, with a maximum interrupting rating of 30kAIC.
Can I swap the trip unit on the HED43B020L to change the amperage?
No. Siemens ED frame circuit breakers feature fixed, non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip units. The entire breaker must be replaced to change the continuous current rating.
What protection functions are included in the HED43B020L trip unit?
The thermal-magnetic trip unit provides fixed long-time (L) protection for overloads and fixed instantaneous (I) protection for short circuits.
Is the HED43B020L HACR rated?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
