Engineered for industrial power distribution, the Siemens 3VA5217-6ED31-0AA0 is a 3-pole, 175A molded case circuit breaker. It belongs to the 3VA5 frame family, delivering reliable long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection. This panel-mount MCCB installs into Siemens P2 and P3 panelboards. It serves as an exact replacement for the discontinued HFD63B175. Rated 65kAIC at 480V, it utilizes a TM210 fixed thermal and magnetic trip unit to minimize fault energy.

Product FAQs
8 answers
What panelboards is the 3VA5217-6ED31-0AA0 compatible with?
This 3VA5 frame breaker is designed for use in Siemens P2 and P3 panelboards, as well as compatible Siemens switchboards.
Can I adjust the trip settings on the 3VA5217-6ED31-0AA0?
No, this breaker features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal and fixed magnetic settings for its long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection functions.
What does the 65kA at 480V rating mean for installation?
The 65kA at 480V interrupting rating indicates the maximum fault current the breaker can safely clear at that voltage. Ensure your system's available fault current does not exceed this value, or the 100kA rating at 240V, depending on your specific system voltage.
How is the 3VA5217-6ED31-0AA0 mounted?
This is a panel mount, feed-thru circuit breaker that connects using lugs. It bolts into place and does not plug onto a busbar like standard residential breakers.
What frame size is the 3VA5217-6ED31-0AA0?
This breaker is built on the Siemens 3VA52 frame, which is a 250A maximum frame size within the SENTRON 3VA5 molded case circuit breaker family.
What does the LI trip function code mean?
The LI designation indicates that the thermal-magnetic trip unit provides Long-Time (L) and Instantaneous (I) protection. Long-time protects against sustained overloads, while instantaneous protects against short circuits.
Can I use this breaker in a residential load center?
No, the 3VA5217-6ED31-0AA0 is a panel-mount molded case circuit breaker designed for commercial and industrial applications. It is specifically built for Siemens P2 and P3 panelboards and switchboards, and it will not fit in standard residential plug-on load centers.
Is this breaker suitable for DC applications?
Yes, the 3VA5217-6ED31-0AA0 is rated for DC applications up to 750V DC, with an interrupting capacity of 85kA at that voltage.
