The LMD63B500 is a 3-pole, 500A molded case circuit breaker from the Siemens Sentron family. Built for heavy-duty industrial applications, it delivers reliable overcurrent protection for high-capacity systems. This unit-mount breaker installs into Siemens P4 and P5 panelboards, as well as SB series switchboards. Rated at 50 kAIC at 480VAC, it features an interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit with adjustable instantaneous (LI) protection. It is HACR rated and includes line and load lugs.
Which Siemens panelboards and switchboards accept the LMD63B500?
This unit mount breaker is compatible with Siemens Sentron P4 and P5 panelboards, along with SB1, SB2, and SB3 switchboards.
How is the trip unit configured on the LMD63B500?
This breaker utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal protection for overloads and an adjustable magnetic setting to fine-tune the instantaneous short-circuit response.
What wire sizes are supported by the standard lugs on this breaker?
The factory-installed lugs accommodate either copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 1/0 AWG to 500 kcmil.
Is the Siemens LMD63B500 suitable for direct current applications?
Yes, it is rated for use in DC systems up to 500VDC, where it provides a 25kA interrupting capacity.
How is the LMD63B500 installed in an electrical system?
It is a feed-thru, unit mount breaker. It bolts directly to the enclosure or mounting plate and requires wire connections at both the line and load terminals, rather than plugging into a busbar.
What type of protection does the LI trip function provide?
The LI designation indicates that the breaker delivers Long-Time protection for standard overloads and Instantaneous protection to quickly clear severe short circuits.
