Engineered for commercial and industrial power systems, the Siemens NEB1B015B delivers robust thermal-magnetic trip protection. This 15-amp, single-pole MCCB features a bolt-on mounting style for secure connections in demanding environments. It installs into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, serving as a reliable component for branch circuit protection. Rated at 35 kAIC at 277V and 100 kAIC at 120V, this breaker is HACR and HID rated. It is replaced by the newer 3VA4195-5ED14-0AA0 model.
Which panelboards are compatible with the NEB1B015B circuit breaker?
The NEB1B015B is designed for use in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards. It features a bolt-on connection type for secure mounting directly to the panel bus.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on this breaker?
The factory-installed lugs on the NEB1B015B accept wire gauges from 14 AWG up to 1/0 AWG. They are rated for use with both copper and aluminum conductors.
Can the NEB1B015B be used in DC electrical systems?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for DC applications. It provides an interrupting capacity of 35kAIC at 125VDC, making it suitable for specific direct current control and distribution circuits.
What is the difference between Siemens NEB and HEB frame breakers?
Both NEB and HEB frames share the same physical dimensions and mount in the same Siemens panelboards. The primary difference is the interrupting rating, with the HEB frame offering a higher maximum short-circuit rating than the standard NEB frame.
How does the trip unit operate on the NEB1B015B?
This breaker features fixed long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions. It uses thermal-magnetic trip technology, relying on a bimetallic strip for overload protection and an electromagnetic assembly for immediate short-circuit tripping.
Does this breaker mount to a standard DIN rail?
No, the NEB1B015B is a bolt-on molded case circuit breaker. It is specifically designed to bolt directly to the busbar in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards and cannot be mounted on a DIN rail.
What is the interrupting capacity for high-voltage commercial circuits?
For 277VAC commercial lighting and distribution circuits, the NEB1B015B provides an interrupting rating of 35kAIC. It is also rated for 22kAIC at 347VAC for industrial applications.
What safety function does the instantaneous trip provide?
The instantaneous magnetic trip function in the NEB1B015B responds immediately to high-level fault currents, such as a short circuit. This rapidly clears the fault to prevent equipment damage and reduce fire hazards in the electrical system.
