HPD63F160 - 1600Amp Max. *Frame Only*

The HPD63F160 is a 1600A, 3-pole molded-case circuit breaker designed for PD-frame electrical distribution applications. It carries a 600V AC rating with 50 kAIC interrupting capacity at 600V, along with a 65 kAIC rating at 480V. Inside is a thermal-magnetic trip unit, while TA5P600 lugs are provided on both the line and load sides for 300–600 kcmil copper or aluminum conductors. Put those specifications together, and the HPD63F160 is a practical choice when your existing system calls for this particular PD-frame configuration and the goal is to match the required form, fit, and function. It's a substantial circuit breaker built to last and designed around clearly defined electrical and installation requirements.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The HPD63F160 circuit breaker meets UL 489 and IEC 60947-2 standards, providing useful compliance information when checking the requirements of an existing installation.

It is also listed as compliant with applicable RoHS substance restrictions since April 2, 2009. The product carries an EAR99 export classification and is classified as non-dangerous goods. Additional product classifications include ETIM EC000228, IDEA 4850, UNSPSC 39-12-16-01, and eClass 27-37-04-09.

Where It Works Best

The HPD63F160 makes the most sense for commercial and industrial electrical distribution equipment that specifically requires a 1600A, 3-pole PD-frame molded-case circuit breaker with the corresponding voltage and interrupting ratings.

It's particularly relevant when maintaining existing or legacy equipment where matching the original breaker's form, fit, and electrical function is the priority. That's important because a 1600A rating by itself doesn't establish compatibility. The frame, number of poles, voltage, interrupting capacity, trip characteristics, lug configuration, conductor range, and physical dimensions must align with the equipment's requirements.
