Product FAQs
8 answers
Which Siemens panelboards are compatible with the 3VA5210-5EC61-0AA0 circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed for use in Siemens 3VA panelboards and switchboards. It can also be installed in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 distribution panelboards when paired with the correct mounting adapter kit.
What is the frame size of the 3VA5210-5EC61-0AA0?
This breaker belongs to the Siemens 3VA52 frame family, which has a maximum frame rating of 250A. This specific unit is factory-set with a 100A continuous current rating.
How does the trip unit function on this 3VA52 breaker?
It features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) protection. The thermal overload element is fixed, while the magnetic instantaneous trip is adjustable to allow for precise short-circuit coordination.
Can the 3VA5210-5EC61-0AA0 be used in DC applications?
Yes, this 2-pole breaker is rated for use on direct current systems up to 500VDC, providing a DC interrupting rating of 50kA.
How is this breaker mounted in an enclosure or panel?
The 3VA5210-5EC61-0AA0 is a feed-thru, panel-mount circuit breaker. It requires a dedicated mounting strap or hardware kit when installed in standard distribution panelboards like the P1, P2, or P3 series.
What breaking capacity class does this Siemens 3VA52 breaker fall under?
This model features a Class M (Medium) breaking capacity. This classification provides a 35kA interrupting rating at 480VAC and an 18kA interrupting rating at 600VAC.
Is the 3VA5210-5EC61-0AA0 suitable for reverse feed applications?
Yes, Siemens 3VA5 thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breakers are UL listed for reverse feed applications, allowing power to be supplied from either the top or bottom terminals.
Does this 2-pole breaker use a standard 2-pole footprint?
This breaker is built in a 2(3)-pole configuration, meaning it houses two active poles within a standard three-pole 3VA52 frame footprint. Panel builders must account for the three-pole physical width when calculating required unit space.
