Built for commercial applications, the Siemens HGB2B125B is a 2-pole, 125A MCCB from the Sentron GB frame family. This bolt-on breaker installs into Siemens P1 through P5 panelboards. It is replaced by the 3VA5112-6ED21-0AA0, which requires a separate mounting kit for panel integration. Rated at 100kAIC at 240V and 35kAIC at 480Y/277V, it handles significant fault currents. It features fixed thermal-magnetic trip functions and an HACR rating.

Product FAQs
8 answers
Which Siemens panelboards accept the HGB2B125B circuit breaker?
The HGB2B125B is designed for bolt-on installation in Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 series panelboards that are configured with xGB branch unit space.
What wire sizes are compatible with the factory lugs on the HGB2B125B?
The standard lugs accept 8 to 1/0 AWG copper (Cu) conductors or 8 to 2/0 AWG aluminum (Al) conductors.
What does the H in the HGB frame designation mean?
The H indicates a high interrupting rating. The HGB2B125B provides up to 100kAIC at 240VAC and 35kAIC at 480/277VAC, offering higher fault current protection than standard NGB or GB frames.
How does the HGB2B125B mount into the panelboard?
This breaker features a bolt-on connection, securing directly to the panelboard bus. This provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection suitable for commercial and industrial environments.
How does the trip unit on the HGB2B125B operate?
It utilizes a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit with Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) functions. The thermal component responds to prolonged overloads, while the magnetic component provides immediate tripping during short circuits.
Is there a newer replacement for the HGB2B125B?
Yes, Siemens is transitioning from the legacy GB frame to the 3VA series. The direct replacement is the 3VA5112-6ED21-0AA0, but note that installing a 3VA breaker into an existing panelboard requires a separate mounting kit.
Can the HGB2B125B be used in direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this breaker is rated for DC applications with an interrupting capacity of 42kAIC at 125/250VDC.
Can the HGB2B125B be installed in the same unit space as BQD or BL breakers?
No, xGB frame breakers like the HGB2B125B have different physical dimensions and cannot be mixed in the same mounting space as BQD or BL frames. The panelboard must have dedicated xGB branch unit space.
