Product FAQs
7 answersWhat panelboards is the 3VA5160-5EC31-0AA0 compatible with?
This 60A breaker is designed for installation in Siemens 3VA panelboards, switchboards, and compatible enclosures that accept 3VA51 125A frame components.
What type of trip unit does the 3VA5160-5EC31-0AA0 use?
It utilizes a TM230 thermal-magnetic trip unit. The thermal overload protection is permanently fixed at 60A, while the magnetic short-circuit protection is adjustable to suit specific load requirements.
What is the adjustable range for the instantaneous short-circuit protection?
The TM230 trip unit allows the instantaneous magnetic pickup to be adjusted from 5 to 10 times the continuous current rating, providing a trip range of 300A to 600A.
What is the breaking capacity class of this Siemens 3VA5 breaker?
It features a Class M breaking capacity. This provides a medium-tier interrupting rating, delivering 35kA at 480VAC and up to 85kA at 240VAC for commercial and industrial power distribution.
Can the 3VA5160-5EC31-0AA0 replace legacy Siemens ED-frame breakers?
Yes. With the correct mounting adapter, this modern 3VA5 series breaker can replace legacy 60A ED-frame units, such as the ED63B060, when upgrading older infrastructure.
Can this 60A breaker be used in DC power systems?
Yes, the 3VA5160-5EC31-0AA0 is rated for both AC and DC systems. It supports up to 500VDC with a 50kA interrupting rating, making it suitable for specialized industrial DC applications.
What protection functions are included in the LI trip code?
The LI designation indicates Long-Time and Instantaneous protection. The Long-Time function protects against sustained thermal overloads, while the Instantaneous function clears high-fault short circuits immediately.
