Product FAQs
7 answersHow should I use the 70A rating when selecting this breaker?
The Siemens 3VA4170-4ED34-0AA0 has a rated current of 70A. Select this rating to coordinate with the circuit load, conductor ampacity and applicable overcurrent protection requirements.
How does the 480V rating guide circuit selection?
The rated voltage is 480V. Check the circuit's operating voltage when selecting the breaker, and evaluate the interrupting rating separately for the available fault current.
What does the 25kA interrupting rating at 480V mean for installation?
The breaker has a 25kA interrupting rating at 480V. For a 480V application, the available fault current at the installation point must not exceed that rating.
When should I choose a three-pole breaker?
A three-pole breaker is used where three circuit conductors require overcurrent protection, such as a three-phase circuit. Match the pole count to the circuit arrangement.
Can I adjust the thermal or magnetic trip response?
Both the thermal and magnetic trip characteristics are fixed. The thermal element responds to sustained overloads, while the magnetic element responds rapidly to short circuits. Choose it where fixed thermal-magnetic protection meets the circuit's protection requirements.
How is the load-side wiring connected?
The load-side connection uses a lug terminal. Plan for conductor termination at the load lug, with space for conductor routing and access during installation.
What physical dimensions should I consider when planning the installation?
This breaker uses a 125-Frame and measures 5.09 in high and 2.96 in deep. Use these dimensions when planning the enclosure layout, while allowing space for conductor routing and terminal access.
