Product FAQs
6 answers
Which Siemens panelboards are compatible with the HGB3B045B circuit breaker?
The HGB3B045B is a bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed for use in Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 panelboards.
What is the difference between Siemens NGB, HGB, and LGB circuit breakers?
These prefixes indicate the interrupting capacity of the Sentron GB frame. NGB is the standard rating (25kA at 480V), HGB is the high interrupting rating (35kA at 480V), and LGB is the extra-high interrupting rating (65kA at 480V). The HGB3B045B specifically provides 35kAIC at 480Y/277V AC.
What wire sizes are accepted by the standard lugs on the HGB3B045B?
The standard factory lugs (catalog number 3TC1GG20) accept #8 to 1/0 AWG copper (Cu) conductors and #8 to 2/0 AWG aluminum (Al) conductors.
Is the Siemens HGB3B045B rated for DC voltage applications?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for DC applications up to 125/250V DC, providing an interrupting capacity of 42kAIC at that voltage.
Can the HGB3B045B be mounted on a standard DIN rail?
No, the HGB3B045B is specifically configured with a bolt-on line end for panelboard mounting. For DIN rail or base mounting without adapters, the Siemens GG or xGB2 frame breakers are required.
Does the HGB3B045B provide GFCI or AFCI protection?
No, this is a standard thermal-magnetic circuit breaker with fixed long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions. It does not provide ground fault or arc fault protection.
