Providing essential overcurrent safety, the Siemens 3VA4170-4ED24-0AA0 is a 2-pole, 70A molded case circuit breaker. It is engineered for commercial and industrial facilities requiring dependable line protection. This panel-mount MCCB installs into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards or switchboards. It effectively replaces the discontinued ED42B070 when used with the appropriate mounting kit. The breaker features a thermal-magnetic trip unit and delivers a 25kA interrupting capacity at 480VAC.
Which Siemens panelboards are compatible with the 3VA4170-4ED24-0AA0 circuit breaker?
This 3VA41 frame breaker is designed for installation in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, as well as compatible Siemens switchboards. Installing it in a panelboard typically requires a specific mounting strap kit, such as the MBKVA41A for 2-pole configurations in Revised P1 panels.
Can the 3VA4170-4ED24-0AA0 be used to replace older Siemens ED-frame breakers?
Yes, this 3VA41 breaker effectively replaces the discontinued 70A, 2-pole ED42B070 circuit breaker. When upgrading an existing panel, ensure you have the correct 3VA41 mounting strap kit, as the older ED-frame hardware is not interchangeable.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on this 70A breaker?
The factory-installed load side lugs accept wire gauges from 14 AWG up to 3/0 AWG. The terminals are rated for both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors. Always torque the connections to the specifications printed on the breaker faceplate.
What does the LI trip function mean on the 3VA4170-4ED24-0AA0?
The LI designation indicates that the thermal-magnetic trip unit provides Long-Time (L) overload protection and Instantaneous (I) short-circuit protection. Both the thermal and magnetic trip thresholds are fixed and cannot be adjusted in the field.
Is this Siemens 3VA41 breaker rated for use in DC electrical systems?
Yes, the 3VA4170-4ED24-0AA0 is rated for DC applications up to 250V DC, where it provides a 50kA interrupting capacity.
