Part of the Siemens Sentron family, this 700A LMD frame molded case circuit breaker provides reliable long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection for commercial and industrial electrical systems. It mounts into Siemens P4 and P5 panelboards, along with SB1, SB2, and SB3 switchboards. For modern upgrades, this unit is replaced by the 3VA5570-7EC36-0AA0 when using the appropriate retrofit kit. Rated for 65kAIC at 240VAC, it features an interchangeable trip unit and adjustable magnetic settings.
What enclosures or panels accept the LMD63B700 breaker?
This unit mount breaker is designed for installation in Siemens Sentron P4 and P5 panelboards, as well as SB1, SB2, and SB3 switchboards. It requires the appropriate mounting strap kit for your specific panel configuration.
What are the wire size limits for the standard lugs on this breaker?
The factory lugs accommodate three 1/0 AWG to 500 kcmil conductors per phase. The terminals are dual-rated for either copper or aluminum wire.
