Which Siemens panelboards accept the 3VA5217-7ED31-0AA0 circuit breaker?
This 3-pole molded case circuit breaker is engineered for integration into Siemens P2 and P3 panelboards, as well as compatible Siemens switchboard distribution sections.
What trip unit and frame size does the 3VA5217-7ED31-0AA0 utilize?
It is built on the 250A maximum 3VA52 frame and utilizes a TM210 thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time thermal overload and instantaneous magnetic short-circuit functions are fixed.
Are the thermal and magnetic trip settings adjustable on this breaker?
No, the 3VA5217-7ED31-0AA0 features fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip settings. If adjustable trip parameters are required for selective coordination, a different trip unit configuration within the 3VA series must be selected.
What breaking capacity class does the 3VA5217-7ED31-0AA0 fall under?
The "-7" in the catalog number designates it as a Siemens Class C breaking capacity breaker. This provides a high interrupting rating of 100kA at 480VAC and 35kA at 600VAC.
Is the 3VA5217-7ED31-0AA0 rated for direct current systems?
Yes, in addition to its standard AC ratings, this breaker is UL listed for DC applications up to 500VDC with a 50kA interrupting capacity.
What type of connections are used on the 3VA5217-7ED31-0AA0?
This breaker features a feed-thru connection design and utilizes mechanical lugs for terminating line and load conductors in panel-mount applications.
What is the front face IP rating of the 3VA5217-7ED31-0AA0?
When properly installed in a panel or enclosure, the front face of this 3VA52 frame breaker provides an IP40 protection class rating against solid object ingress.
