Product FAQs
6 answersCan I use the 3VA4170-6ED34-0AA0 to replace an older HED4 or HHED6 breaker?
Yes, this 3VA4 series breaker serves as a direct replacement for the discontinued HED43B070 and HHED63B070 models. It fits the same panelboard spaces and provides equivalent or superior interrupting ratings.
Which Siemens panelboards accept this 3VA41 frame circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for installation in Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 panelboards, as well as compatible Siemens switchboards. It is not designed for use in standard residential load centers.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on this 70A breaker?
The factory-installed lugs accept wire gauges ranging from 14 AWG up to 3/0 AWG. Always ensure you torque the terminals to the manufacturer specifications printed on the breaker faceplate during installation to prevent arcing.
Is this breaker rated for use in direct current systems?
Yes, it carries a DC rating of up to 250VDC with a maximum interrupting capacity of 100kA. This makes it suitable for specific industrial DC distribution applications alongside standard AC networks.
Can I adjust the trip settings on the 3VA4170-6ED34-0AA0?
No, this breaker features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal and fixed magnetic settings. If your application requires adjustable trip curves, you will need to select a breaker equipped with an electronic trip unit.
Does this breaker snap into place or require bolted connections to the bus?
This is a bolt-on circuit breaker. It requires a physical bolted connection to the panelboard bus bars, providing a highly secure and vibration-resistant electrical connection compared to plug-in alternatives.
