Built for demanding industrial environments, this 45A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker utilizes proven thermal-magnetic trip technology. It serves as a reliable safeguard for commercial distribution networks. The bolt-on configuration ensures a secure connection within Siemens Sentron P2 and P3 panelboards. Facilities upgrading equipment can replace this unit with the newer 3VA5 series using an adapter kit. This HACR-rated component features a 42kAIC rating at 480VAC.
What panelboards are compatible with the HED43B045?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for use in Siemens Sentron P2 and P3 panelboards, as well as compatible Siemens switchboards.
Can I use the HED43B045 to replace a standard ED43B045?
Yes. The HED4 series shares the same physical dimensions and mounting footprint as the standard ED4 series but provides a higher interrupting capacity. It can safely replace an ED43B045 where higher fault current ratings are required.
What is the difference between the ED4, HED4, and HHED4 series?
These series share the same ED frame size but offer different interrupting ratings at 480 VAC. The standard ED4 is rated at 18kA, the HED4 is rated at 42kA, and the HHED4 provides 65kA.
Are the load lugs included, and what wire types are supported?
Yes, the breaker includes factory-installed load lugs. They accept 10 AWG through 1/0 AWG wire and are rated for both copper and aluminum conductors.
Can this breaker be used in DC circuits?
Yes, the HED43B045 is rated for DC applications, providing a 30kA interrupting capacity at 250 VDC.
Will this breaker fit in legacy ITE panels?
Yes. Siemens manufactures the Sentron line, which is fully backwards compatible with older ITE panelboards that require ED-frame bolt-on breakers.
Does this breaker feature adjustable trip settings?
No. This thermal-magnetic breaker utilizes fixed long-time and fixed instantaneous trip functions. It does not have adjustable dials for modifying the trip curve.
