Product FAQs
7 answers
Which Siemens panelboards are compatible with the HGB2B060B circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for use in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 commercial panelboards. It mounts in the branch unit space of panels configured for xGB frame breakers.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on the HGB2B060B?
The factory lugs accept 8 to 1/0 AWG copper wire and 8 to 2/0 AWG aluminum wire. Ensure you use the correct torque specifications during installation.
Can the HGB2B060B be used in DC voltage applications?
Yes, this breaker is rated for 125/250VDC systems and provides a 14kA interrupting capacity for direct current applications.
What does the HGB frame designation indicate compared to other Siemens GB frames?
In the Siemens xGB family, HGB indicates the high interrupting tier. It provides a 100kA rating at 240VAC, which is higher than the standard NGB frame but lower than the extra high LGB frame.
Are the thermal and magnetic trip settings adjustable on this breaker?
No, the HGB2B060B features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit for long-time and instantaneous protection. The trip settings cannot be adjusted.
Does this breaker mount onto a standard DIN rail?
No, the HGB2B060B is a bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed specifically to bolt directly to the busbars of compatible Siemens panelboards.
Is the HGB2B060B approved for series rated combinations?
Yes, HGB frame breakers are UL and CSA certified for use in specific series connected short circuit ratings with approved upstream Siemens main breakers. Consult the panelboard series rating label for exact combinations.
