Product FAQs
7 answers
What is the adjustable thermal trip range for this 500A breaker?
The TM240 trip unit features an adjustable thermal setting (Ir) that can be dialed from 350A to 500A to match your specific load requirements.
What is the adjustable magnetic trip range for the 3VA5450-7EF31-0AA0?
The adjustable magnetic short-circuit protection (Ii) can be set between 5 and 10 times the continuous current rating, which corresponds to 2500A to 5000A.
Can the Siemens 3VA5450-7EF31-0AA0 be reverse fed?
Yes, all Siemens 3VA5 thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breakers are UL listed for reverse feed applications.
How should this breaker be wired for 500VDC applications?
When applying this 3-pole breaker on 500V ungrounded DC systems, the power supply must be connected in a series zig-zag configuration across the poles to ensure voltage is uniformly distributed.
What type of trip unit is installed in this breaker?
It is equipped with a TM240 ATAM (Adjustable Thermal, Adjustable Magnetic) trip unit, providing reliable long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection.
What does the Class C designation mean for this 3VA5 breaker?
The Class C designation indicates its high interrupting capacity, specifically rated for 100kA at 480VAC and 200kA at 240VAC, making it suitable for industrial systems with high available fault currents.
What frame size does the 3VA5450-7EF31-0AA0 belong to?
This breaker is built on the Siemens 3VA54 frame, which has a maximum capacity of 600A, though this specific model is factory set for a 500A continuous current rating.
