HP3B160 - 1600Amp Circuit Breaker

HP3B160 - 1600Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're replacing a circuit breaker in existing electrical equipment, the details matter. The HP3B160 is an HP3 molded case circuit breaker rated at 1600 amps with a 3-pole configuration. For maintenance and replacement work, these specifications give electricians and facility teams the information they need to compare the HP3B160 with the breaker already installed. If you're working with legacy electrical equipment, checking the breaker type, amperage, number of poles, dimensions, voltage, and AIC rating can help determine whether this model provides the required form, fit, and function.

Key Features and Benefits

• 1600A rating for equipment designed to use a breaker of this amperage.
• 3-pole design for compatible three-phase electrical applications.
• HP3 molded case construction for applications requiring this breaker type.
• 40°C rating provides another important point to check when confirming compatibility.
• Measures 9.00" W x 15.50 "L x 4.75 "D, making physical dimensions easier to compare with the existing breaker and equipment.
• A practical option for form, fit, and functional replacement in compatible legacy electrical systems.

Material Compliance and Certifications

Specific material compliance information and certification or agency-listing details were not provided in the available specifications for the HP3B160. For that reason, no UL, CSA, RoHS, or other certification status should be assumed.

If your application calls for a particular listing or compliance standard, check the markings on the breaker itself and compare them with the requirements of the equipment and installation.

Where It Works Best

The HP3B160 is best suited to electrical maintenance and replacement work where existing equipment calls for a 1600A, 3-pole HP3 molded case circuit breaker with matching electrical and physical specifications. This can be especially relevant when maintaining legacy distribution equipment, and the goal is to keep the original system configuration intact.
