Part of the Siemens Sentron series, this 500A molded case circuit breaker delivers reliable power distribution. The LD Frame device utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism to protect against severe faults. This unit-mount breaker fits into Siemens P4 and P5 panelboards. It accommodates 3/0 AWG to 500 kcmil wiring, though the required TA2J6500 lugs must be sourced separately. Capable of handling 35 kAIC at 480VAC, it is HACR rated and approved for reverse feed applications.

What frame class does the LXD62B500 belong to?
It is part of the Siemens Sentron series and falls under the LD frame group.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on this breaker?
The terminals accept wire sizes ranging from 3/0 AWG to 500 kcmil. They are rated for both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors.
How does this breaker mount into an electrical enclosure?
It uses a unit mount, bolt-on connection type, meaning it bolts directly to the bus or mounting pan rather than snapping or plugging in.
Is the trip unit on the LXD62B500 fully adjustable?
No, it features a thermal magnetic trip unit with a fixed thermal setting for long-time protection and an adjustable magnetic setting for instantaneous protection.
Can this breaker be used in direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, it is rated for use in DC applications up to 250VDC, where it provides an interrupting rating of 30kA.
Does this breaker provide ground fault protection?
No, it includes LI (Long-Time and Instantaneous) functions only, providing standard thermal magnetic protection without integrated ground fault equipment protection.
