Product FAQs
7 answers
Can the 3VA5340-6EC61-0AA0 replace older Siemens JD frame circuit breakers?
Yes, this 3VA53 frame breaker can serve as a replacement for discontinued 400A legacy models like the HJD62B400. A specific retrofit mounting kit is typically required to adapt the modern 3VA footprint to older panelboards.
What type of trip unit is equipped on the 3VA5340-6EC61-0AA0?
This breaker features a TM230 thermal magnetic trip unit. It provides fixed thermal protection for standard overloads and an adjustable magnetic trip setting for short circuit protection.
What is the adjustable magnetic trip range for this 400A breaker?
The instantaneous magnetic trip can be adjusted from 5 to 10 times the continuous current rating. This provides a short circuit trip range between 2000A and 4000A to coordinate with downstream devices.
What is the breaking capacity class for this 3VA53 frame breaker?
It features a Class H breaking capacity. This provides high interrupting ratings of 65kA at 480V and 100kA at 240V for demanding commercial and industrial power systems.
What types of distribution equipment will accept the 3VA5340-6EC61-0AA0?
This breaker is designed for installation in modern Siemens panelboards, switchboards, and industrial enclosures configured for 3VA53 frame molded case circuit breakers.
What is the physical footprint of this 2 pole circuit breaker?
Although it is a 2 pole breaker, the 3VA5340-6EC61-0AA0 is housed in a 3 pole frame footprint. Panel builders must account for the physical width of a 3 pole device when allocating space in the enclosure.
How is the 3VA5340-6EC61-0AA0 circuit breaker installed?
It is a panel mount breaker that secures directly to the chassis or backpan of compatible Siemens distribution equipment. It includes standard lug terminals for secure wire connections.
