Engineered for commercial and industrial applications, the Siemens 3VA5330-5EF31-0AA0 is a 3-pole, 300A molded case circuit breaker from the Sentron 3VA53 frame family. This panel mount breaker installs into Siemens P3, P4, and P5 panelboards or switchboards. With the appropriate mounting kit, it serves as a replacement for legacy JD63B300 breakers. Rated for 35kAIC at 480VAC, this M-Class breaker features a TM240 trip unit with adjustable thermal and adjustable magnetic settings.
Can the Siemens 3VA5330-5EF31-0AA0 replace older JD-frame breakers?
Yes, this 3VA53 frame breaker can serve as a direct replacement for legacy JD63B300 circuit breakers when installed with the appropriate retrofit mounting strap kit.
