Product FAQs
6 answers
What does "2 pole in 3 pole frame" mean for the 3VA5225-6ED61-0AA0?
It indicates that the breaker provides 2-pole protection but uses the physical housing of a 3-pole 3VA52 frame. This allows it to mount seamlessly into standard 3-phase Siemens 3VA panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers while only connecting to two phases.
Is the 3VA5225-6ED61-0AA0 suitable for direct current (DC) systems?
Yes. In addition to standard AC applications, this breaker is fully rated for DC systems up to 500VDC. It delivers an 85kAIC interrupting capacity for direct current installations.
Are the trip settings adjustable on the 3VA5225-6ED61-0AA0?
No. This breaker is equipped with a thermal-magnetic trip unit that has fixed thermal and fixed magnetic settings. It provides standard Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) protection without field adjustability.
What does the "0AA0" suffix indicate in the 3VA5225-6ED61-0AA0 catalog number?
In the Siemens 3VA series, the "0AA0" suffix designates a standard configuration. It indicates that the breaker ships without factory-installed internal accessories, such as shunt trips or auxiliary switches, and relies on standard thermal-magnetic protection.
How does this breaker mount into a panel?
It features a fixed panel mount design and utilizes a feed-thru connection. It is intended for fixed installation within compatible Siemens 3VA distribution equipment rather than plug-in or draw-out configurations.
Does this breaker provide ground fault protection?
No. The 3VA5225-6ED61-0AA0 features a standard thermal-magnetic trip unit with Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) functions only. It does not include integrated ground fault (G) protection.
