Part of the SENTRON 3VA5 series, this 600-amp molded case circuit breaker delivers reliable long-time and instantaneous protection for industrial applications. It integrates seamlessly into Siemens panelboards and enclosures requiring a robust panel mount solution. As a current-limiting device with an M-Class 35kA interrupting rating at 480V, it provides enhanced system safety. This unit also functions as an upgrade path for discontinued HLD63B600 frames when paired with the proper retrofit kit.
What panels or enclosures is the 3VA5460-5EC31-0AA0 breaker designed to fit?
This molded case circuit breaker is designed for integration into Siemens 3VA panelboards, switchboards, and compatible industrial enclosures.
Are Siemens 3VA5 thermal-magnetic breakers suitable for reverse feed applications?
Yes. Siemens 3VA5 series thermal-magnetic circuit breakers, including this 600A unit, are UL listed for reverse feed installations.
Can this 3VA54 breaker be used in direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, it is rated for DC applications up to 500VDC. It provides a 50kA interrupting capacity for DC network installations.
Is the 3VA5460-5EC31-0AA0 circuit breaker HACR rated?
