Built to protect circuits against overloads and short circuits, the Siemens 3VA5215-7ED61-0AA0 is a 150A, 2-pole molded case circuit breaker. It is rated for 240VAC, 480VAC and 600VAC, with an interrupting rating of 100kAIC at 480V. The 3VA5 frame uses fixed mounting and Feed-Thru terminals. Fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trips provide long-time and instantaneous protection. The breaker is UL approved.

Product FAQs
8 answers
How should I use the 150A rating when selecting the Siemens 3VA5215-7ED61-0AA0?
The 150A rated current is the basis for selecting this molded case circuit breaker for the load. Coordinate that rating with conductor ampacity, load requirements and applicable circuit-sizing rules.
What circuit voltages can I select this breaker for?
The AC voltage ratings are 240VAC, 480VAC and 600VAC. Match the voltage rating to the circuit being protected, and evaluate interrupting capacity separately for the operating voltage.
How does the 100kAIC at 480V interrupting rating affect selection?
At 480V, the breaker has a 100kAIC interrupting rating. Compare that rating with the available fault current at the installation point; the available fault current must not exceed the interrupting rating.
What protection does the thermal-magnetic trip provide?
The thermal-magnetic trip provides long-time and instantaneous protection. The thermal element responds to sustained overloads, while the magnetic element responds rapidly to high fault current, giving protection for both operating conditions.
Can I adjust the thermal or magnetic trip settings?
Both the thermal and magnetic trip settings are fixed. Select this breaker when fixed trip behavior suits the circuit's protection requirements, rather than planning to tune trip settings during installation.
How do the pole count and phase rating guide circuit selection?
This is a 2-pole, single-phase breaker. Use those characteristics when selecting protection for a single-phase circuit requiring two protected poles.
What does fixed mounting mean for installation?
Fixed mounting means the breaker is installed in a stationary mounting arrangement rather than a drawout arrangement. Plan the installation around a secured breaker that remains mounted during normal operation.
What dimensions should I account for when planning the installation?
The breaker measures 7.3 in high, 4.1 in wide and 4.2 in deep. Use these dimensions to plan its physical space, with additional room for conductor routing and installation access.
