Product FAQs
8 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the 3VA6325-5JQ31-0AA0 circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed for use in Siemens P3 panelboards and switchboards. It requires the appropriate 3VA63 mounting hardware kit for installation in these enclosures.
What does the M breaking capacity class indicate for this 3VA6 breaker?
The M class designates a medium interrupting capacity, providing a 35kA rating at 480V and 100kA at 240V. This makes it suitable for commercial and industrial distribution systems requiring moderate fault current protection.
What type of trip unit is included with the 3VA6325-5JQ31-0AA0?
It features an ETU560 electronic trip unit with an integrated LCD screen. This provides adjustable Long-Time, Short-Time, Instantaneous, and Ground-Fault (LSIG) protection settings for precise system coordination.
Is this a 250A or 400A frame circuit breaker?
The 3VA6325-5JQ31-0AA0 utilizes a 400A physical frame size (3VA63) but is factory configured with a maximum continuous current rating of 250A.
How are the line and load connections made on this breaker?
This is a feed-thru configuration that utilizes lug terminals for the line and load connections. Ensure you torque all conductors to the specifications listed on the breaker label during installation.
Does this breaker provide equipment ground fault protection?
Yes, the integrated LSIG electronic trip unit includes adjustable ground-fault protection. This is designed to protect equipment from low-level arcing faults, not for personnel protection.
Can I use this to replace an older Siemens Sentron 250A breaker?
The 3VA6 series is the current generation of Siemens Sentron breakers. While it can replace older models with similar specs, the physical dimensions and mounting hardware differ. You will need the correct 3VA63 mounting kit for your specific panelboard.
Can the trip settings be adjusted in the field?
Yes, the electronic trip unit allows for field adjustability of the Long-Time, Short-Time, Instantaneous, and Ground-Fault parameters to match the specific load and coordination requirements of your electrical system.
