Built for heavy-duty commercial power distribution, this 400A molded case circuit breaker utilizes thermal-magnetic technology to safeguard critical infrastructure. The TM230 trip unit offers fixed thermal and adjustable magnetic (LI) response for tailored defense. This breaker installs into Siemens panelboards and serves as an exact functional cross-reference for legacy JXD63B400 units. A Class M interrupting capacity of 35kA at 480V provides standard-level fault current limitation.

Product FAQs
5 answers
Which legacy Siemens breakers does the 3VA5340-5EC31-0AA0 directly replace?
This breaker is the modern functional replacement for the legacy JD63B400 and JXD63B400 400A 3-pole molded case circuit breakers.
Does the 3VA5340-5EC31-0AA0 come with lugs installed out of the box?
No. Siemens 3VA circuit breakers with catalog numbers ending in "0AA0" are shipped without connection terminals. You must purchase the appropriate standard aluminum or copper lug kits separately based on your specific wire size requirements.
How does the TM230 trip unit operate on this breaker?
The TM230 is a Fixed Thermal, Adjustable Magnetic (FTAM) trip unit. The thermal overload protection is permanently fixed at 400A, while the instantaneous short-circuit protection is adjustable from 5 to 10 times the rated current (2,000A to 4,000A).
Is the 3VA5340-5EC31-0AA0 HACR rated?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is safety certified for protecting heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment in compliance with NEC requirements.
Can I install auxiliary switches or shunt trips in the 3VA5340-5EC31-0AA0?
Yes, the 3VA5 breaker family supports field-installable internal accessories. Components like auxiliary switches, alarm switches, and shunt trips can be mounted directly into the dedicated accessory pockets under the breaker's front cover.
