Part of the advanced SENTRON 3VA5 series, this 400A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker ensures robust power distribution for industrial facilities. It delivers precise long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection to prevent system overloads. Designed for panel mount configurations, it fits Siemens 3VA panelboards and switchboards while serving as an exact upgrade for JXD63B400 breakers. The unit features a TM230 trip unit with a 65kAIC rating at 480V and adjustable magnetic trip settings.
Does the 3VA5340-6EC31-0AA0 come with mounting lugs?
No, the 31 in the catalog number indicates it ships without line or load connections. You will need to purchase the appropriate lug kits separately depending on your wire size and material.
Which lug kits are compatible with this 400A Siemens breaker?
You can use catalog number 3VA9373-0JB13 for aluminum wire configurations or 3VA9373-0JD13 for copper wire setups. Since the breaker requires lugs on both sides, order two kits if you need line and load connections.
What wire size does the compatible 3VA9373-0JB13 aluminum lug kit accept?
The 3VA9373-0JB13 aluminum lug kit accepts copper or aluminum wire sizes from 1 AWG to 600 kcmil. Ensure you torque the connections to 375 lb-in during installation.
What does the -6 in the 3VA5340-6EC31-0AA0 catalog number mean?
The -6 indicates this is an H-Interrupting Class breaker, rated at 65kA at 480V. If your panel only requires a standard 35kA rating at 480V, you would need the M-Class version, part number 3VA5340-5EC31-0AA0.
How adjustable is the TM230 trip unit on the 3VA5340-6EC31-0AA0?
The TM230 trip unit features a fixed thermal rating for long-time protection and an adjustable magnetic setting for instantaneous short-circuit protection. The magnetic trip can be adjusted between 5 and 10 times the 400A continuous current rating.
Can I install this 400A breaker in a standard Siemens panelboard?
Yes, this 3VA53 frame breaker is designed for use in compatible Siemens 3VA panelboards and switchboards. Make sure your enclosure and strap kits are sized to accept a 3VA53 frame.
Can I install the 3VA5340-6EC31-0AA0 in a reverse feed configuration?
Yes, Siemens 3VA5 thermal magnetic circuit breakers are UL listed for reverse feed applications, allowing you to connect the line and load power to either set of terminals.
Is this Siemens 3VA5 400A breaker HACR rated?
Yes, the 3VA5340-6EC31-0AA0 is UL 489 listed as a Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration (HACR) type circuit breaker, making it suitable for HVAC equipment protection.
