Built for commercial power distribution, the Siemens 3VA5445-5EF31-0AA0 is a 450A molded case circuit breaker from the SENTRON 3VA5 series. This panel-mount unit integrates into Siemens 3VA panelboards. With a retrofit kit, it functions as a reliable replacement for discontinued LXD63B450 breakers. Delivering 35 kAIC at 480VAC, it features a TM240 thermal-magnetic trip unit. This allows precise coordination via adjustable long-time and instantaneous settings.
Does the 3VA5445-5EF31-0AA0 come with line and load lugs installed?
No, Siemens 3VA54 frame breakers are shipped standard without lugs. You must order lugs separately for field installation, or use catalog number 3VA5445-5EF36-0AA0 to get factory-installed standard lugs.
What is the adjustable trip range for the 3VA5445-5EF31-0AA0?
This breaker features a TM240 ATAM trip unit. The thermal overload protection is adjustable from 360A to 450A, and the instantaneous short-circuit protection is adjustable from 2250A to 4500A (5 to 10 times the continuous current rating).
Is this 3VA54 frame breaker suitable for reverse feed applications?
Yes, all Siemens 3VA5 thermal magnetic trip circuit breakers are UL listed for reverse feed applications.
Can this 3-pole breaker be used on 500V DC systems?
Yes, it is rated for up to 500V DC. When applying a 3-pole breaker on 500V ungrounded DC systems, the power supply must be connected in a series or zig-zag configuration through all three poles to ensure voltage is uniformly distributed.
What strap kit is required to mount this breaker in a Siemens P5 power panel?
To single mount a 3VA54 frame breaker in a Siemens P5 panelboard or switchboard, use the S3VA54TD copper strap kit.
How do I order this breaker with factory-installed nut keepers for switchboard mounting?
To get factory-installed nut keepers instead of the standard lugless configuration, you will need to order catalog number 3VA5445-5EF32-0AA0.
Is the 3VA5445-5EF31-0AA0 a 100% rated circuit breaker?
No, this breaker is standard rated for continuous operation at 80% of its maximum capacity.
