What panelboards are compatible with the Siemens 3VA5145-6ED21-0AA0?
This breaker is designed for use in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, as well as compatible Siemens switchboards.
What does the Class H breaking capacity mean for this breaker?
The H designation in the 3VA5 series indicates a high interrupting capacity. For this 45A breaker, it provides up to 65kAIC at 480VAC and 150kAIC at 240VAC, making it suitable for commercial and industrial systems with high fault-current requirements.
What is the physical footprint of this 2-pole breaker?
As part of the Siemens 3VA51 frame family (125A maximum frame size), this 2-pole configuration measures approximately 2 inches wide, 5.5 inches high, and 3.7 inches deep.
What type of trip unit is installed in the 3VA5145-6ED21-0AA0?
It features a TM210 thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed long-time (thermal) and fixed instantaneous (magnetic) protection functions, commonly referred to as FTFM.
Can this breaker replace older Siemens ED-frame breakers?
Yes, the 3VA51 frame is the modern replacement for legacy Siemens ED-frame circuit breakers, such as the ED42B045 or ED62B045. However, you may need a specific mounting kit or strap kit when retrofitting it into older panelboards.
What type of connection does this breaker use?
The 3VA5145-6ED21-0AA0 features a bolt-on connection for secure mounting in panelboards and switchboards. It accepts standard Siemens 3VA51 lug terminals for wire connections.
Is this breaker suitable for DC voltage applications?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for up to 250VDC with an interrupting capacity of 100kAIC, making it versatile for both AC and DC systems.
