Offering maximum flexibility, the Siemens 3VA5212-7EF31-0AA0 is a 3-pole, 125A molded case circuit breaker from the SENTRON 3VA5 series. It provides reliable current-limiting protection for demanding industrial environments. This unit mounts into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards (requires adapter) and switchboards. It also serves as a replacement for the legacy HFD63B125 breaker. The breaker features a TM240 trip unit with fully adjustable thermal and magnetic settings.
What are the adjustable trip settings for the Siemens 3VA5212-7EF31-0AA0?
This breaker features a TM240 ATAM (Adjustable Thermal, Adjustable Magnetic) trip unit. The thermal overload protection is adjustable from 100A to 125A, and the magnetic short-circuit protection is adjustable from 625A to 1250A, which is 5 to 10 times the continuous current rating.
Can the 3VA5212-7EF31-0AA0 be used in DC electrical systems?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for use in DC networks up to 750VDC. It provides an interrupting capacity of 100kAIC at 250VDC, 500VDC, and 750VDC.
Which Siemens panelboards are compatible with this 125A 3VA5 breaker?
It can be installed in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, though a specific mounting adapter kit is required for the 3VA52 frame. It is also suitable for use in Siemens switchboards.
What does the 7 in the 3VA5212-7EF31-0AA0 catalog number indicate?
The 7 designates it as a Class C breaking capacity breaker. This specific class provides a high interrupting rating of 100kAIC at 480VAC and 35kAIC at 600VAC.
What is the frame size of the 3VA5212-7EF31-0AA0?
While it has a continuous current rating of 125A, it is built on the Siemens 3VA52 frame, which is a 250A maximum frame size.
Does this breaker provide ground fault protection?
No, the 3VA5212-7EF31-0AA0 features a standard thermal-magnetic trip unit with Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) functions only. It does not include integrated ground fault equipment protection.
