Built for commercial and industrial applications, the Siemens 3VA5112-5ED31-0AA0 is a 3-pole, 125A molded case circuit breaker from the Sentron 3VA5 family. It provides reliable line protection with a TM210 fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. This panel mount breaker installs into Siemens P2, P3, P4, and P5 panelboards or switchboards. It serves as a modern replacement for legacy HED43B125 breakers when used with the appropriate mounting kit. Rated for 35kA at 480VAC (Class M).

Product FAQs
6 answers
Which Siemens panelboards can accept the 3VA5112-5ED31-0AA0 branch breaker?
This 3VA51 frame circuit breaker is designed for installation in Siemens P2, P3, P4, and P5 series panelboards and switchboards. You will need to use a dedicated 3VA51 mounting strap kit or hardware provision kit specific to your panel model, as these breakers do not mount directly to the bus without it.
Can I use this 3VA5 breaker to replace an older HED43B125?
Yes, the 3VA5112-5ED31-0AA0 is the modern replacement for legacy Siemens HED43B125 circuit breakers. Because the physical frame design is different, you cannot reuse your old HED4 mounting hardware. A new strap kit designed for the 3VA51 frame is required for panelboard installation.
Does the trip unit on the 3VA5112-5ED31-0AA0 allow for field adjustments?
No. It comes equipped with a fixed TM210 thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time overload and instantaneous short-circuit protection settings are permanently set at the factory and are non-adjustable.
What does the Class M breaking capacity signify for this breaker?
Class M designates a medium interrupting capacity tier within the Siemens 3VA lineup. For this 125A model, it guarantees the breaker can safely clear a 35kA fault at 480V AC, or an 85kA fault at 240V AC.
What are the physical dimensions of this 3-pole breaker?
The 3VA5112-5ED31-0AA0 utilizes the standard 3VA51 frame footprint. It measures approximately 5.5 inches in height, 3 inches in width (1 inch per pole), and 3.7 inches in depth.
Is this circuit breaker approved for DC power distribution?
Yes, it is fully rated for DC voltages up to 500V DC with an 85kA maximum interrupting rating. Siemens approves this 3VA5 trip unit specifically for protecting cables, lines, and non-motorized DC loads in industrial environments.
