Product FAQs
6 answers
What does the TM230 trip unit in the 3VA5112-5EC31-0AA0 offer for adjustability?
The TM230 is a thermal-magnetic trip unit featuring a fixed thermal setting for overload protection at 125A and an adjustable magnetic setting for short-circuit protection. The magnetic trip can be configured from 5 to 10 times the continuous current rating.
Can the 3VA5112-5EC31-0AA0 replace an older ED frame Siemens breaker?
Yes, this 3VA51 frame model serves as a modern equivalent to legacy ED frame units, such as the ED63B125, when installed in Siemens P1, P2, or P3 panelboards using the appropriate adapter kit.
Does the 3VA5112-5EC31-0AA0 include terminal lugs for bare wire connections?
No, the -0AA0 suffix in the catalog number indicates it ships with nut keepers, or punched copper bars, rather than standard box lugs. Compatible mechanical or compression lugs must be purchased separately if you are connecting bare wire.
What breaking capacity class does the 3VA5112-5EC31-0AA0 fall under?
The number 5 following the frame and amperage in the catalog number (3VA5112-5) denotes it as an M-Class breaking capacity breaker. This internal code determines the specific short-circuit interrupting capabilities across different voltages within the Siemens 3VA portfolio.
Can I backfeed or reverse feed the 3VA5112-5EC31-0AA0?
Yes, the internal construction of this thermal-magnetic breaker permits reverse feeding. It is also HACR rated for safe use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
How is this breaker mounted into Siemens panelboards?
This feed-thru MCCB requires specific mounting hardware or an adapter kit depending on whether it is being installed in a 3VA panelboard or retrofitted into P1, P2, or P3 panelboards and switchboards.
