Operating as a core component in commercial distribution, the Siemens HED43B025 is a 3-pole, 25A MCCB. It utilizes a quick-make/quick-break thermal-magnetic mechanism for precise long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection. This bolt-on breaker mounts into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards or SB switchboards. For panel upgrades, it is replaced by the 3VA5125-6EC31-0AA0, which requires a retrofit kit. With a robust 42kAIC rating at 480V, it handles high fault currents and is HACR rated.
What is the difference between the Siemens HED43B025 and the ED43B025?
Both are 25A, 3-pole ED frame circuit breakers, but they have different interrupting ratings. The HED43B025 is the high-interrupting version rated at 42kAIC at 480VAC, while the standard ED43B025 is rated at 18kAIC at 480VAC.
Which panelboards are compatible with the HED43B025 circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed for use in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, as well as SB switchboards. It features a bolt-on connection that mounts directly to the panel bus for branch circuit applications.
Does the HED43B025 require a mounting kit for installation?
When installed as a standard branch breaker in P1, P2, or P3 panelboards, it bolts directly to the bus without a kit. However, if you are installing it as a main or subfeed breaker, a separate mounting hardware kit, such as the MBKED3 for 3-phase applications, is required.
Can the Siemens HED43B025 be reverse fed?
Yes. Standard Siemens ED frame thermal magnetic circuit breakers, including the HED43B025, do not have line and load restrictions and can be reverse fed for back-fed main applications.
Can the HED43B025 be used in DC applications?
Yes, it carries a 250VDC rating with a 30kAIC interrupting capacity. When used in DC systems, Siemens requires specific pole wiring configurations depending on the system voltage.
Is the trip unit on the HED43B025 adjustable?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. It provides long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection functions that cannot be adjusted in the field.
