Operating within 2-pole commercial electrical systems, this 400A molded case circuit breaker delivers robust thermal-magnetic protection. It features a TM230 trip unit with fixed long-time and adjustable instantaneous (LI) functions to handle demanding loads. Engineered for versatility, it mounts into Siemens 3VA and P1/P2/P3 panelboards using a strap kit, replacing older JXD62B400 breakers. The unit provides a 35kAIC rating at 480VAC, ensuring reliable current-limiting performance.
What panelboards are compatible with the Siemens 3VA5340-5EC61-0AA0?
This 400A breaker is designed for use in Siemens 3VA panelboards and switchboards. It can also be installed in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards when equipped with the appropriate strap kit.
