General Information
Introduction
Siemens SB Encased Systems Breakers bridge the perfor-
mance gap between Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCB)
and Low Voltage Power Circuit Breakers (LVPCB). Modern
computer-aided design and manufacturing tools were used
to effectively blend the technologies of the MCCB and
LVPCB. This combination has resulted in a family of encased
systems circuit breakers that exhibit the most desirable
characteristics of each of the parent technologies. Included
in these characteristics are high interrupting capacities, high
withstand capabilities (magnetic stress), high short-time ca-
pabilities (overcurrent heating), and high mechanical and
electrical endurances, without maintenance.
Applications for SB breakers include main, tie, feeder, and
emergency source breakers in industrial plants, large com-
mercial complexes, and medical and health care facilities.
The circuit breakers are constructed for either fixed or
drawout installation. They can be physically grouped in
central distribution switchboards, or used separately in stand-
alone applications.
The SB breaker is equipped with a two-step stored energy
mechanism for closing and opening the breaker contacts.
After a closing operation, sufficient energy is retained in the
two-step stored energy mechanism to perform the tripping
function. The mechanism may be charged manually with the
integrated low-force charging handle or electrically with the
optional electric motor operator. Pushbuttons, switches and
color-coded indicators allow for easy close and open opera-
tions.
