Serving commercial distribution networks, this 125-amp bolt-on breaker provides essential long-time and instantaneous protection. The rugged ED-frame construction withstands rigorous industrial environments while maintaining consistent performance. It mounts into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards as well as SB switchboards. For future upgrades, this unit is replaced by the 3VA5112-6EC31-0AA0, which requires a specific mounting strap kit for panelboard integration.
How does the Siemens HED43B125 differ from the ED43B125?
The primary difference is the short circuit interrupting rating. The HED43B125 is a high-interrupting breaker rated for 42kAIC at 480V and 100kAIC at 240V. The standard ED43B125 is rated for 18kAIC at 480V and 65kAIC at 240V. Both share the exact same physical ED frame dimensions and panelboard mounting configuration.
Can the HED43B125 be used in reverse feed applications?
Yes. Because the HED43B125 is manufactured with a non-interchangeable trip unit, it is suitable and UL approved for reverse feed applications in compatible enclosures and panelboards.
Is this breaker interchangeable with older ITE brand HED4 breakers?
Yes. Siemens acquired the ITE electrical distribution line. The modern Siemens HED43B125 is a direct physical and electrical replacement for legacy ITE HED4 125A, 3-pole breakers installed in legacy Sentron panelboards or SB switchboards.
Are the thermal and magnetic trip limits field adjustable for coordination?
No. The HED43B125 utilizes a non-interchangeable, fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. For modern applications requiring precise field adjustments or electronic trip curves, engineers typically specify the newer Siemens 3VA6 series circuit breakers, which require dedicated retrofit hardware for older panels.
