Product FAQs
6 answers
Which Siemens panelboards are compatible with the 3VA5222-7EC31-0AA0 circuit breaker?
This 225A 3VA5 breaker is designed for use in Siemens P2, P3, P4, and P5 panelboards, as well as compatible Siemens switchboards.
Does the 3VA5222-7EC31-0AA0 come with terminal lugs included?
No, the -0AA0 suffix indicates this breaker is supplied without terminal connections. You will need to purchase the appropriate front cable lugs or busbar terminals separately based on your conductor size.
Can the 3VA5222-7EC31-0AA0 be used in DC applications?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for DC applications up to 750VDC, providing a 100kA interrupting capacity at that voltage.
Are the trip settings adjustable on this 225A breaker?
The thermal (long-time) trip function is fixed at 225A, but the magnetic (instantaneous) trip function is adjustable to allow for coordination with downstream devices.
Can the 3VA5222-7EC31-0AA0 replace older Siemens Sentron or VL series breakers?
Yes, it can often replace legacy Sentron or 3VL breakers in retrofit projects. However, because the 3VA5 Frame 250 has a different footprint, you must verify terminal alignment and may need specific panel bus stab or lug adapter kits.
Are phase barriers or terminal covers required when installing this breaker?
Yes, when installing 3VA molded case circuit breakers, the implementation of insulation measures such as phase barriers or terminal covers is required to ensure safe operation and prevent arcing.
