Product FAQs
8 answers
What is the direct replacement for the legacy Siemens ED63B070 breaker?
The Siemens 3VA5170-4ED31-0AA0 is the modern equivalent and direct replacement for the obsolete 70A ED63B070. When retrofitting this into an older enclosure or panelboard, a 3VA mounting adapter kit may be required.
What is the maximum frame size for the 3VA5170-4ED31-0AA0?
This breaker is built on the Siemens 3VA51 frame, which has a 125A maximum capacity. It shares the same physical footprint as other 3VA51 breakers, allowing for standardized panel layouts.
Which trip unit is equipped on this 70A Siemens breaker?
It features the TM210 thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time overload (thermal) and instantaneous short-circuit (magnetic) settings are fixed and cannot be adjusted in the field.
Is the 3VA5170-4ED31-0AA0 compatible with residential plug-on load centers?
No, this is a panel mount breaker designed specifically for commercial Siemens 3VA panelboards and switchboards. It will not fit in standard residential load centers.
Is this 70A breaker rated for direct current (DC) applications?
Yes, the 3VA5170-4ED31-0AA0 is certified for use in DC systems up to 500VDC, delivering a 50kA interrupting rating for industrial and control applications.
Can the Siemens 3VA5170-4ED31-0AA0 be reverse fed?
Yes, this breaker features a reverse feed design. Line power can be connected to either the top or bottom terminals without affecting its protective functions.
Is this 3-pole breaker HACR rated?
Yes, it is HACR rated, making it suitable for protecting heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment circuits.
Does this breaker offer current limiting capabilities?
Yes, the 3VA5170-4ED31-0AA0 is a current limiting circuit breaker. It is designed to clear faults rapidly, reducing the let-through energy and protecting downstream electrical components.
