Built for overload and short-circuit protection, the Siemens 3VA5130-6ED36-0AA0 is a 30A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker. Interrupting ratings are 150kA at 240VAC, 65kA at 480VAC and 25kA at 600Y/347VAC. The 3VA5 series uses a 3VA51 frame with unit mounting and lug terminals. Fixed thermal magnetic trips provide long-time and instantaneous protection. Approvals include CE, CSA, UL and VDE.

Product FAQs
10 answers
How should I use the 30A rating when selecting the Siemens 3VA5130-6ED36-0AA0?
The 30A rating is the breaker's rated current. Use it when coordinating the circuit load and conductor protection.
Which system voltages can I select this breaker for?
The voltage ratings are 240VAC, 480VAC and 600Y/347VAC. Match the rating to the system voltage and configuration, with the 600Y/347VAC rating applying to a wye system.
How do I check whether the interrupting rating is sufficient?
Compare available fault current at the installation point with the interrupting rating at the applicable voltage: 150kA at 240VAC, 65kA at 480VAC or 25kA at 600Y/347VAC. Select a rating that equals or exceeds the available fault current.
Can I adjust the overload or instantaneous trip settings?
The thermal and magnetic trip settings are fixed. Thermal-magnetic protection provides long-time response to overloads and instantaneous response to high fault currents, so select it for applications that use fixed protection settings.
How does the pole configuration affect circuit selection?
This is a 3-pole breaker for 3-phase circuits, with no neutral connection. Use that configuration when selecting protection for the phase conductors.
What mounting style and dimensions should I plan around?
This unit-mount breaker measures 5.51 in high, 3.00 in wide and 3.01 in deep. Use the mounting style and dimensions when laying out the installation and planning space for conductor routing.
What conductor sizes can I terminate at the breaker?
The lug terminals accept conductors from 14 AWG through 8 AWG. Keep the selected conductor within that range while also meeting the circuit's ampacity requirements.
What does the HACR rating mean for equipment selection?
HACR means heating, air conditioning and refrigeration. The HACR rating supports selection for those applications when the equipment requires HACR-rated circuit protection.
Which standards and approvals should I check against project requirements?
This molded case circuit breaker meets UL 489 and IEC 60947-2 and has CE, CSA, UL and VDE approvals. Use these when checking the project's circuit breaker standard and approval requirements.
What temperature range should I consider for the installation?
The temperature rating is -25C to 70C. Use this range when evaluating the installation environment and enclosure thermal conditions.
