Description

Built to handle severe electrical faults, the Siemens HED43B040 is a 40A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker. It utilizes fixed thermal and magnetic trip elements to protect commercial and industrial distribution systems. The breaker bolts into Siemens Sentron P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, as well as SB switchboards. For future upgrades, it is replaced by the 3VA5140-6ED31-0AA0 with an adapter strap. It features a 42kAIC rating at 480VAC, is HACR rated, and includes load-side lugs.

Product FAQs

8 answers
What electrical panels accept the HED43B040 circuit breaker?

It is approved for bolt-on installation in Siemens Sentron P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, as well as Siemens SB switchboards and motor control centers.

What wire size and material are the standard lugs rated for on the HED43B040?

The included standard lugs accept 10 AWG to 1/0 AWG copper or aluminum wire for your load connections.

Is the HED43B040 circuit breaker rated for direct current systems?

Yes. In addition to alternating current applications, this thermal magnetic breaker is rated for 250VDC systems with a maximum interrupting capacity of 30kA.

What is the difference between Siemens ED4 and HED4 circuit breakers?

The main difference is the short-circuit interrupting capacity. The HED4 series provides a high interrupting rating of 42kA at 480VAC, whereas the standard ED4 series has a lower interrupting rating. Both utilize identical ED frame dimensions.

Can the HED43B040 replace older ITE circuit breakers?

Yes. The HED43B040 shares the standard ED frame design and can physically replace older ITE or Siemens ED4, ED6, and HED6 breakers of the same pole count, provided the system voltage and interrupting requirements are met.

Is the Siemens HED43B040 suitable for reverse feed applications?

Yes. Because this ED frame circuit breaker features a non-interchangeable trip unit, it is approved for reverse feed wiring under UL 489 standards.

Is this circuit breaker suitable for protecting HVAC equipment?

Yes. The HED43B040 is HACR rated, meaning it is certified for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires this specific protection profile.

Are the thermal and magnetic trip elements adjustable on the HED43B040?

No. This molded case circuit breaker features fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip settings for its long-time and instantaneous protective functions. These cannot be altered in the field.
