HPXD63B160 - 1600Amp Circuit Breaker

HPXD63B160 - 1600Amp Circuit Breaker

The Siemens HPXD63B160 is a 1600A, 3-pole molded-case circuit breaker designed for electrical distribution equipment requiring a PD-frame breaker with a thermal-magnetic trip. It is rated for 600VAC and has an interrupting rating of 50kAIC at 600V and 65kAIC at 480V. At 9 inches wide, 16 inches high, and 6.19 inches deep, it has clearly defined dimensions that are especially useful when you're matching an existing breaker or maintaining equipment where physical fit matters just as much as the electrical ratings. The HPXD63B160 meets UL 489 and IEC 60947-2 standards.

Key Features and Benefits

Where It Works Best

The Siemens HPXD63B160 makes sense for commercial and industrial electrical distribution equipment, specifically designed around a 1600A, 3-pole PD-frame molded-case circuit breaker. It's particularly useful when maintaining an existing installation and when the replacement needs to closely match the original breaker rather than change the system's intended configuration.
