Product FAQs
6 answersWhich electrical enclosures are compatible with the 3VA6225-8HL31-0AA0?
This SENTRON series breaker is designed for installation in Siemens P2, P3, P4, and P5 panelboards. It is also fully compatible with Siemens switchboards and motor control centers that accommodate 3VA6 frame devices.
How does the LI electronic trip unit function on this breaker?
The solid state electronic trip unit provides adjustable protection for both Long-Time (L) and Instantaneous (I) overcurrents. This adjustability allows electricians to precisely coordinate the breaker with downstream equipment and specific load requirements.
Can I use this 250A breaker in a 480V commercial distribution panel?
Yes, it is fully rated for 480V AC applications and features a high interrupting capacity of 150kAIC at that voltage. This makes it ideal for robust commercial or industrial networks located near high-capacity transformers.
What type of terminal connections does this Siemens breaker use?
It is equipped with feed-thru lug connections for both line and load wiring. Always verify and apply the correct torque specifications detailed on the breaker faceplate when terminating conductors to prevent thermal faults.
Will standard legacy Siemens accessories fit the 3VA6225-8HL31-0AA0?
You must use accessories specifically manufactured for the Siemens 3VA62 frame. This includes internal auxiliary contacts, shunt trips, and external rotary operators designed exclusively for the modern 3VA frame architecture.
Does this breaker provide equipment ground fault protection?
No, this specific model features a Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) trip function only. If your installation requires ground fault protection, you will need to source a breaker equipped with an LIG or LSIG electronic trip unit.
