Built to handle industrial power distribution, this 20-amp molded case circuit breaker belongs to the versatile 3VA5 frame family. It mounts into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, acting as a modern substitute for discontinued ED63B020 components. The device is supplied without lugs, allowing contractors to select the exact terminal hardware required for their specific wiring needs. It delivers a 25kA interrupting rating at 480V alongside fixed thermal and adjustable magnetic trip functions.
Is the 3VA5120-4EC31-0AA0 a direct replacement for older Siemens breakers?
Yes, this 3VA51 frame breaker serves as a modern substitute for discontinued 20A ED-frame breakers, including the ED63B020, in Siemens power distribution systems.
What is the maximum frame capacity of the 3VA5120-4EC31-0AA0?
While this specific model is factory-rated for a 20A continuous current, it is built on the Siemens 3VA51 frame, which has a maximum physical and electrical capacity of 125A.
How is the TM230 trip unit configured on this breaker?
The breaker features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with a fixed thermal setting (long-time) for overload protection and an adjustable magnetic setting (instantaneous), allowing electricians to fine-tune the short-circuit response.
What is required to install this breaker in a Siemens panelboard?
Because the 3VA5120-4EC31-0AA0 is a feed-thru, panel-mount breaker, it does not plug directly onto bus bars. Installation in Siemens P1, P2, or P3 panelboards requires the appropriate mounting hardware or strap kits designed for 3VA51 frames.
Can this breaker be operated without opening the enclosure door?
Yes, the 3VA51 frame is compatible with Siemens door-mounted rotary operators (such as the 3VA9137-0FK31). These accessories include an interlock mechanism that allows manual operation while preventing the cabinet door from being opened when the breaker is energized.
