Product FAQs
7 answers
What type of enclosures or panelboards is the 3VA6560-5JQ32-0AA0 designed for?
This circuit breaker is designed for use in Siemens P4 and P5 panelboards, as well as compatible Siemens switchboards requiring a 3VA6 frame.
What does the "Nut Keeper" terminal type mean for installation?
Nut keeper terminals are designed to accept busbar connections or compression lugs using a bolt and nut assembly, rather than standard mechanical box lugs. This provides a secure, high-amperage connection for heavy-duty applications.
What protection features does the LSIG electronic trip unit provide?
The electronic trip unit includes Long-time, Short-time, Instantaneous, and Ground-fault (LSIG) protection. This allows precise coordination for overload, short-circuit, and ground-fault conditions, offering more advanced protection than standard thermal-magnetic breakers.
Are the trip settings adjustable on the 3VA6560-5JQ32-0AA0?
Yes, the electronic trip unit is fully adjustable for the Long-time, Short-time, Instantaneous, and Ground-fault functions. This allows electricians to fine-tune the protection curve to match specific load and coordination requirements.
What frame size does the 3VA6560-5JQ32-0AA0 belong to?
This breaker is part of the Siemens 3VA6 series and utilizes the 800A frame size, which accommodates the 600A electronic trip unit. It is part of the SENTRON family of molded case circuit breakers.
What does the "5" following the first hyphen in the 3VA6560-5JQ32-0AA0 catalog number indicate?
The "5" indicates that this breaker has a Class M breaking capacity, which corresponds to a medium interrupting rating of 35kA at 480VAC.
Which specific electronic trip unit is installed in this breaker?
The 3VA6560-5JQ32-0AA0 is equipped with the ETU560 electronic trip unit, which features an LCD screen for precise adjustments and monitoring of the LSIG protection parameters.
