Product FAQs
6 answers
Which panelboards and switchboards are compatible with the 3VA6225-8HN31-0AA0 circuit breaker?
This 250A breaker is designed for use with Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 panelboards, as well as compatible Siemens switchboards and motor control centers.
What type of trip unit is installed in the 3VA6225-8HN31-0AA0?
It features a solid-state electronic trip unit (ETU350) with LSI functions, allowing for adjustable long-time, short-time, and instantaneous trip settings.
What wire sizes are compatible with the standard lugs on the 3VA62 250A frame?
Standard aluminum body lugs for the 3VA62 frame, such as the 3VA9243-0JB12 kit, typically accept single copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 6 AWG to 350 kcmil. Always verify the specific lug kit installed for exact wire range compliance.
Is the 3VA6225-8HN31-0AA0 rated for 100 percent continuous current?
No, this specific catalog number is standard rated at 80 percent. For a 100 percent rated version of this electronic trip circuit breaker, the 13th digit of the catalog number changes to a 2, which also requires specific rated lugs.
How is the 3VA6225-8HN31-0AA0 mounted in an electrical enclosure?
It is a panel mount, feed-thru circuit breaker. When installing in a panelboard or switchboard that requires nut keepers instead of standard lugs, alternate hardware must be used or ordered separately for field installation.
What safety standards does the Siemens 3VA62 frame meet?
The Siemens 3VA62 series electronic trip circuit breakers carry global certifications, including UL 489, CSA C22.2, and IEC 60947-2 standards for reliable overload and short-circuit protection.
