Siemens 3VA5160-4ED31-0AA0 Molded Case Circuit Breaker

This 60A circuit breaker is built on the Siemens 3VA51 frame, which supports a maximum continuous current of 125A. Its compact footprint is designed for integration into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards and switchboards.

It features a TM210 thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal and fixed magnetic (FTFM) settings. The continuous overload protection is permanently set to 60A, and the instantaneous short-circuit protection is fixed at 600A, which is exactly 10 times the rated current.

No. Because this model utilizes a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit, both the long-time and instantaneous pickup levels are factory set and cannot be modified by the user.

In the Siemens 3VA nomenclature, Class S denotes the standard breaking capacity tier for the 3VA51 frame. This specific tier is engineered to deliver a 25kA interrupting rating at 480V AC, which is suitable for most standard commercial and industrial panelboard applications.

Yes, this 3-pole breaker is rated for DC systems up to 500V DC, where it provides a 50kA interrupting capacity. When applying it to DC circuits, electricians must follow Siemens' specific pole wiring configurations to ensure proper fault interruption.

The 3VA5160-4ED31-0AA0 is engineered to operate safely in ambient temperatures ranging from -25 degrees Celsius to 70 degrees Celsius, allowing for installation in demanding industrial environments.

Yes, the Siemens 3VA UL series features a modular design. Internal accessories like auxiliary switches, alarm contacts, and shunt trips are standardized and can be easily fitted into the internal accessory pockets of the breaker.

Yes, the 3VA5160-4ED31-0AA0 carries an HACR rating in accordance with UL 489 standards, certifying it for use in heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration branch circuits.
