A reliable choice for commercial power distribution, the Siemens JD3B400 is a 3-pole, 400-amp molded case circuit breaker from the JD frame family. It provides long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions with an adjustable magnetic setting to fine-tune protection. Designed for unit-mount applications, it integrates seamlessly into Siemens P4 and P5 panelboards and switchboards. While officially replaced by the JD63B400, this breaker is frequently required for legacy equipment support.
Which Siemens panelboards accept the JD3B400 breaker?
This unit-mount breaker is designed to integrate into Siemens Sentron P4 and P5 panelboards. It is also compatible with Siemens switchboards and motor control centers.
Is there a direct modern replacement for the JD3B400?
Yes, while the JD3B400 is frequently required for servicing legacy equipment, its official modern replacement in the Siemens catalog is the JD63B400.
How does the adjustable magnetic trip benefit panel builders?
The adjustable magnetic setting allows electricians to fine-tune the instantaneous trip point. This provides better selective coordination with downstream devices and helps prevent nuisance tripping from motor inrush currents.
How many conductors can the standard lugs on the JD3B400 accept?
The standard lugs are designed to accept two conductors per phase, accommodating wire sizes from 3/0 AWG to 500 kcmil for both copper and aluminum wire.
Can the trip unit on the JD3B400 be swapped out?
Yes, the JD3B400 is built with an interchangeable trip unit. This allows the thermal-magnetic trip functions to be replaced or upgraded without removing the entire breaker frame from the panel.
