Engineered for industrial environments, the Siemens NEB2B080B is an 80A, 2-pole MCCB. It features fixed thermal and magnetic trip elements to deliver precise LI protection. This Sentron family breaker mounts into Siemens P1 through P5 panelboards. For modern replacements, Siemens superseded this model with the 3VA4180-5ED24-0AA0, requiring a mounting strap kit. Rated for 85kA at 240V and 35kA at 480V, it handles high fault currents. The unit is HACR rated and includes load-side lugs.
What panelboards are compatible with the Siemens NEB2B080B circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for use in Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 panelboards. It requires the appropriate mounting hardware or branch connector kits depending on the specific panelboard series and bus configuration.
What wire sizes and materials are accepted by the lugs on the NEB2B080B?
The factory-installed load lugs accept 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG wire. They are rated for both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors, giving panel builders flexibility in sourcing wire for 80-amp circuits.
Can the NEB2B080B be used in DC voltage applications?
Yes, in addition to AC networks, this breaker is UL rated for direct current systems up to 250VDC, delivering a 35kA interrupting capacity for DC applications.
What type of trip unit is installed in the NEB2B080B?
It features a fixed thermal magnetic trip unit with Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) trip functions. Both the thermal overload and magnetic short-circuit trip points are factory fixed and non-adjustable, providing reliable, tamper-proof protection.
How does the NEB2B080B mount into the panelboard?
This is a bolt-on molded case circuit breaker. It secures directly to the panelboard bus using bolted connections, providing a secure, vibration-resistant installation compared to plug-on alternatives.
What is the difference between the NEB and HEB frame breakers?
Both share the same physical footprint and mount in the same Siemens panelboards, but the HEB frame offers a higher interrupting capacity (AIC) than the standard NEB frame. If your system fault current exceeds the NEB rating, an HEB breaker may be required.
Can this 2-pole breaker be used on a single-phase system?
Yes, this 2-pole breaker is typically used to protect 240V or 480V single-phase circuits, or to protect two legs of a three-phase system depending on the panelboard bus configuration.
What ambient temperature is the NEB2B080B calibrated for?
The thermal magnetic trip unit is calibrated for a standard ambient operating temperature of 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit).
