Product FAQs
5 answers
Which Siemens panelboards accept the HGB2B080B circuit breaker?
This GB frame bolt-on breaker is designed for installation in Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 panelboards. It mounts directly to the panelboard bus without requiring additional mounting plates or adapters.
What does the HGB prefix indicate compared to NGB or LGB breakers?
The prefix designates the short circuit interrupting rating of the Siemens GB frame family. NGB is the standard rating, HGB indicates a high interrupting rating, and LGB provides the highest capacity. The HGB2B080B is rated for 100kA at 240VAC and 35kA at 480VAC.
Is the HGB2B080B breaker suitable for reverse feed applications?
Yes. Siemens GB frame thermal magnetic circuit breakers feature non-removable trip units and do not have line and load terminal restrictions, making them UL listed for reverse feeding in back-fed main configurations.
Can the HGB2B080B be applied in DC electrical systems?
Yes, this breaker is rated for direct current applications up to 125/250VDC with a 42kA interrupting capacity. When applied on 250VDC systems, standard wiring configuration requires using a two-pole breaker with one pole on each leg of the supply circuit.
How does the trip mechanism operate on the HGB2B080B?
It utilizes a fixed thermal magnetic trip unit with Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) protection. The breaker features an overcenter toggle mechanism that is trip-free, ensuring the contacts will open during a fault condition even if the handle is physically held in the closed position.
