A core component of the Siemens Sentron lineup, this 2000A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker delivers uncompromising industrial power distribution. It features a rugged RD frame and a thermal-magnetic trip unit with adjustable magnetic settings for customized LI protection. Compatible with Siemens SB1, SB2, SB3, and Sentron switchboards, the unit mount design facilitates straightforward integration into large-scale infrastructure. It safely clears severe faults with 65 kAIC at 480VAC.

Product FAQs
7 answers
What type of wire connections does the HRD63B200 require?
This 2000A breaker uses a feed-thru connection with mechanical lugs. The terminals accept five 300 to 600 kcmil conductors per phase. Be sure to verify if your specific factory lugs (such as the TC5R600) are rated for copper wire only before terminating.
What does the H prefix signify on the HRD63B200 catalog number?
The H designates this as a high-interrupting molded case circuit breaker. Compared to standard RD6 frames, the HRD63B200 provides elevated fault protection, delivering up to 100kA interrupting capacity at 240VAC and 65kA at 480VAC.
Which switchboards are compatible with the HRD63B200 circuit breaker?
This Sentron RD-frame breaker is engineered for installation in Siemens SB1, SB2, and SB3 series switchboards. It is also backward compatible with legacy Siemens Sentron switchboard designs.
How do the trip functions operate on this specific breaker model?
The HRD63B200 features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with LI (Long-Time and Instantaneous) capabilities. It provides a fixed thermal response for sustained overload conditions and an adjustable magnetic dial to fine-tune the instantaneous short-circuit pickup.
How is the HRD63B200 secured inside the switchboard?
This is a unit-mount circuit breaker that bolts directly to the enclosure backpan or chassis. Due to the large size of the 2000A RD-frame, it requires heavy-duty mounting hardware and often utilizes a specialized mounting block (like the MB9301) to support the base.
Can the HRD63B200 be applied in DC voltage systems?
Yes, in addition to AC applications, this breaker is rated for use in DC systems up to 500VDC. It provides a 50kA interrupting capacity at both 250VDC and 500VDC, making it suitable for high-capacity industrial DC networks.
What maintenance steps are recommended for the HRD63B200 connections?
Because this breaker carries up to 2000A across multiple paralleled conductors, periodic infrared thermography scanning is recommended to detect uneven load distribution or loose lugs. Technicians must ensure all five 300 to 600 kcmil cables per phase remain torqued to Siemens factory specifications.
