Part of the Sentron series, the Siemens HFXD63B250 is a 3-pole, 250A molded case circuit breaker designed for industrial applications. It provides reliable thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection for demanding electrical systems. This unit-mount FD-frame breaker installs into Siemens P1-P5 panelboards and switchboards. This legacy model is replaced by the 3VA5225-6EC31-0AA0, which requires a separate mounting kit. Rated for 65 kAIC at 480VAC, it features reverse feed capability.
What does the "H" in the HFXD63B250 catalog number indicate?
The "H" designates this breaker as a high-interrupting capacity model [1.1.2]. The HFXD63B250 provides an interrupting rating of up to 65kAIC at 480V, which is a higher rating than standard FXD6 frame breakers.
Which Siemens distribution equipment accepts the HFXD63B250?
This unit-mount FD frame breaker installs into Siemens Sentron P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 panelboards, as well as S4 and S5 switchboards and motor control centers.
Are lugs included with the HFXD63B250 breaker?
No, lugs are not factory-installed. To terminate cables, you will need the TA1FD350A lug kit, which is compatible with 6 AWG to 350 kcmil copper or 4 AWG to 350 kcmil aluminum wire.
Are the trip settings on the HFXD63B250 adjustable?
This breaker features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with a fixed thermal element for overload protection and an adjustable magnetic dial, allowing you to set the instantaneous short-circuit pickup threshold.
Can the trip unit on the HFXD63B250 be swapped or replaced?
No. The "X" in the HFXD6 designation indicates that this breaker has a factory-assembled, non-interchangeable trip unit.
Can the HFXD63B250 be used in DC electrical systems?
Yes, the HFXD63B250 is rated for DC applications and provides an interrupting rating of 25kAIC at up to 500VDC.
Is the Siemens HFXD63B250 suitable for HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is tested and approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
Can the HFXD63B250 be reverse fed?
Yes. As a thermal-magnetic breaker with a non-interchangeable trip unit, the HFXD63B250 is UL Listed for reverse feed applications.
