HPD63B160 - 1600Amp Circuit Breaker

HPD63B160 - 1600Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're replacing a circuit breaker in an existing electrical system, the details matter. The HPD63B160 is a 1600A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker built on the PD frame and rated for applications up to 600VAC. Those specifications make the HPD63B160 a practical choice when the job calls for this exact PD-frame configuration, whether you're maintaining existing equipment or replacing a breaker with matching electrical and physical requirements.

Key Features and Benefits

• 1600A, 3-pole design for compatible three-phase electrical distribution equipment.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The HPD63B160 meets UL 489 and IEC 60947-2 standards. These are especially useful reference points when you're checking whether a replacement breaker meets the requirements of the existing equipment or installation.

Where It Works Best

The HPD63B160 makes the most sense in commercial and industrial electrical distribution systems that specifically call for a PD-frame, 1600A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker with the corresponding voltage, interrupting, and connection requirements.

It's also well suited to replacement work in existing or legacy equipment where maintaining the correct form, fit, and function is the priority. That's where checking the complete specification becomes important. Two breakers can share the same amp rating and still be wrong for the same application.
