Product FAQs
5 answersWhat frame size is the Siemens 3VA5160-4EC31-0AA0 built on?
This 60A breaker utilizes the Siemens 3VA51 frame, which supports up to 125A. It shares the same physical footprint and internal accessory compatibility as other breakers in the 125A 3VA51 family, simplifying panel layout and upgrades.
How does the TM230 trip unit function on this breaker?
The TM230 is a thermal-magnetic trip unit (FTAM) that provides fixed long-time (thermal) overload protection at 60A and adjustable instantaneous (magnetic) short-circuit protection. The magnetic trip dial can be set between 300A and 600A, which corresponds to 5 to 10 times the continuous current rating.
Can this breaker replace legacy Siemens ED-frame models?
Yes, the 3VA5160-4EC31-0AA0 is the modern replacement for discontinued 60A ED-frame breakers, such as the ED63B060. A Siemens retrofit kit is required to adapt the new 3VA footprint to existing panelboard or switchboard mounting hardware.
What internal accessories are compatible with the 3VA5160-4EC31-0AA0?
The 3VA51 frame includes dedicated accessory pockets under the front cover. This allows panel builders to field-install modular accessories like auxiliary contacts, alarm switches, and shunt trips without increasing the overall footprint of the breaker.
Can the 3VA5160-4EC31-0AA0 be used in DC electrical networks?
Yes, the thermal-magnetic trip unit allows this breaker to protect both AC and DC circuits. It is rated for DC applications up to 500V DC with a 50kA interrupting capacity, making it suitable for industrial DC control panels or battery systems.
