Siemens 3VA5212-6EC61-0AA0 Molded Case Circuit Breaker

Yes, this molded case circuit breaker is rated for DC applications. It delivers an 85kA interrupting capacity at both 250VDC and 500VDC, making it suitable for industrial DC control panels and specialized distribution systems.

It is built on the Siemens 3VA52 frame. While this specific unit is rated for 125A, the 3VA52 frame family supports up to 250A, meaning it shares the same physical dimensions and accessory compatibility as other 250A-class 3VA5 breakers.

This indicates that the breaker contains two active poles but is housed within a three-pole physical footprint. This configuration is often required for proper busbar spacing in Siemens 3VA panelboards or for specific DC wiring schemes.

The thermal-magnetic trip unit features a fixed thermal element for overload protection and an adjustable magnetic element for instantaneous short-circuit protection. This allows electricians to coordinate the instantaneous trip threshold with downstream devices and motor inrush currents.

This breaker is engineered for use in Siemens 3VA series panelboards, switchboards, and approved standalone enclosures.

It is a traditional panel-mount breaker that bolts directly to the chassis or bus of compatible Siemens 3VA distribution equipment. It uses lug terminals for secure wire connections.

Yes, Siemens 3VA5 thermal-magnetic circuit breakers are UL listed for reverse feed applications. This allows line power to be connected to either the top or bottom terminals without compromising safety or trip performance.

This breaker is rated for up to 600VAC, providing a 25kAIC interrupting rating at that maximum voltage. It is also fully rated for 480VAC systems with a higher 65kAIC interrupting capacity.
