Built to handle substantial fault currents, this 700A thermal-magnetic breaker offers long-time and instantaneous protection for heavy commercial loads. The unit mounts into Siemens 3VA enclosures and P5 panelboards via retrofit kits, replacing older MXD63B700 hardware. Delivering a robust 65kAIC capacity at 480VAC, the device features a TM230 trip unit with an adjustable magnetic range from 3500A to 7000A, ensuring precise coordination in complex electrical distribution networks.
No, this breaker is equipped with nut keeper terminals for busbar connections. If you are connecting cables, you must purchase the appropriate Siemens 3VA55 lug kits separately.
What does the Fixed Thermal, Adjustable Magnetic trip unit mean for this 700A breaker?
The TM230 trip unit has a fixed continuous current rating of 700A for overload protection. The instantaneous short-circuit pickup is adjustable from 5 to 10 times the continuous current, allowing a magnetic trip range of 3500A to 7000A for coordination with downstream devices.
Which Siemens panelboards are compatible with the 3VA5570-6EC32-0AA0?
This breaker can be installed in Siemens 3VA panelboards, switchboards, and legacy Siemens P5 panelboards when using the correct retrofit mounting kit.
What does the 6EC32 section of the catalog number indicate?
In the Siemens 3VA nomenclature, this section specifies the performance and configuration. It indicates a Class H interrupting rating of 65kA at 480V, a TM230 thermal-magnetic trip unit, a 3-pole configuration, and nut keeper terminal connections.
Is the 3VA5570-6EC32-0AA0 a 100 percent rated circuit breaker?
No, this is a standard 80 percent rated breaker. Continuous loads should not exceed 560A, which is 80 percent of its 700A rating, in accordance with standard NEC requirements.
What is the physical frame size of the 3VA5570-6EC32-0AA0?
While this specific breaker has a maximum continuous current rating of 700A, it is built on the Siemens 3VA55 800A physical frame size.
