Specialized for marine and high-temperature applications, the Siemens 3VA5125-6EC31-1AA0 is a 3-pole, 25A molded case circuit breaker. It carries a UL 489 SB Naval rating and is calibrated for 50°C ambient environments. Designed for panel mount installations, it integrates seamlessly into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards or motor control centers. It is an ideal upgrade for older HED43B025 and HHED63B025 models. This breaker delivers 65kAIC at 480VAC via a TM230 adjustable magnetic trip unit.
Which Siemens panelboards accept the 3VA5125-6EC31-1AA0 breaker?
This molded case circuit breaker installs into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, along with compatible switchboards and motor control centers. You will need the correct mounting strap kit or hardware specific to your panel type for a secure installation.
Is the 3VA5125-6EC31-1AA0 rated for direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, in addition to its standard AC ratings, this breaker is fully rated for DC applications. It provides a 100kA interrupting capacity at 500VDC, making it highly versatile for industrial control panels and specialized DC power systems.
How does the trip unit on this 25A breaker operate?
It utilizes a thermal-magnetic mechanism with Fixed Thermal and Adjustable Magnetic (LI) settings. The fixed thermal element provides reliable long-time overload protection, while the adjustable magnetic dial allows you to customize the instantaneous short-circuit trip point to match your specific load requirements.
Does the 3VA5125-6EC31-1AA0 share dimensions with other breakers in the 3VA5 family?
Yes, this 25A breaker is built on the standard 125A 3VA5 frame. All breakers within the 3VA51 series share the exact same physical footprint, allowing panel builders to standardize their mounting layouts and hardware across different amperage requirements.
Why is the adjustable magnetic trip important for panel coordination?
Adjusting the instantaneous magnetic trip threshold allows electricians to properly coordinate this breaker with downstream and upstream devices. Selective coordination ensures that only the breaker closest to a fault trips, isolating the hazard without shutting down the entire electrical system.
