Product FAQs
8 answers
What is the difference between the Siemens HFD63B150 and the standard FD63B150?
The HFD63B150 is the high-interrupting capacity version of the FD frame. It provides a 65kAIC rating at 480VAC, whereas the standard FD63B150 is rated for 35kAIC at 480VAC. Both breakers share the same physical dimensions and mounting footprint.
Can I use the Siemens HFD63B150 to replace an older I-T-E breaker with the exact same catalog number?
Yes. Siemens acquired I-T-E and continued manufacturing the Sentron series. A modern Siemens HFD63B150 is a direct physical and electrical replacement for the legacy I-T-E version.
What types of enclosures or panels are compatible with the HFD63B150?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for use in commercial and industrial Siemens Sentron panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. It requires a standard FD frame mounting space.
Will this breaker fit in a standard Siemens residential load center?
No. The HFD63B150 is a molded case circuit breaker built for industrial panelboards. It is significantly larger than residential breakers and is not compatible with load centers that require QP, BL, or BQ type breakers.
What trip adjustments are available on the HFD63B150?
This breaker features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with a fixed thermal element for long-time overload protection and an adjustable magnetic element for instantaneous short-circuit protection.
Is the HFD63B150 suitable for direct current (DC) applications?
Yes, this breaker is rated for DC systems up to 500VDC, providing an interrupting capacity of 25kAIC at that voltage.
What wire sizes are accepted by the factory lugs on this breaker?
The standard factory-installed lugs accept 6 AWG to 350 kcmil copper wire, or 4 AWG to 350 kcmil aluminum wire. Always verify the specific torque requirements printed on the breaker label before terminating conductors.
Does the HFD63B150 provide ground fault protection?
No. This breaker is equipped with a standard LI (Long-Time, Instantaneous) trip unit. It does not include ground fault (GFPE) or arc fault capabilities, which typically require an electronic LSIG trip unit.
