Built for demanding commercial and industrial environments, this two-pole molded case circuit breaker utilizes a fixed TM210 thermal-magnetic trip unit for consistent current-limiting performance. The 45A device fits seamlessly into modern Siemens 3VA panelboards and switchboards, handling up to 35kAIC at 480VAC. It functions as an advanced upgrade for legacy ED42B045 breakers, bringing higher interrupting capacities and HACR/HID ratings to standard power distribution applications.
Does the 3VA5145-5ED21-0AA0 come with line and load lugs?
No. This breaker ships from the factory without lugs. You must order the appropriate nut keeper plates or standard line and load lugs separately for field installation.
What legacy Siemens circuit breakers does this 3VA51 model replace?
The 3VA51 frame is the modern replacement for legacy Siemens ED frame breakers. Specifically, this 45A, 2-pole model replaces the discontinued ED62B045.
Is the 3VA5145-5ED21-0AA0 rated for reverse feed applications?
Yes. Siemens 3VA5 thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breakers are UL listed for reverse feed installations.
Can I adjust the thermal or magnetic trip settings on this breaker?
No. This unit is equipped with a TM210 trip unit, which features fixed thermal (long-time) and fixed magnetic (instantaneous) trip functions.
How is this breaker applied in 250VDC systems?
When using this 2-pole thermal-magnetic breaker on a 250VDC system, you must connect one pole to each leg of the DC supply circuit.
Which panelboards accept the 3VA5145-5ED21-0AA0 breaker?
This breaker mounts directly into Siemens 3VA panelboards and switchboards. It can also be installed into legacy Siemens P1 panelboards when using the correct retrofit mounting kit.
What is the maximum frame size for the 3VA5145-5ED21-0AA0?
This breaker is built on the Siemens 3VA51 frame, which has a maximum capacity of 125 amps.
