Product FAQs
7 answers
Does the 3VA6340-6HL31-0AA0 come with wire lugs out of the box?
No. The -0AA0 suffix in the catalog number indicates this breaker is shipped without lugs. If you are wiring it with standard cables, you will need to purchase the appropriate lug kits separately or order the breaker with lugs factory-installed.
Is there an alternative catalog number if I need this breaker with factory-installed lugs?
Yes. While the 3VA6340-6HL31-0AA0 ships without lugs, you can order the identical breaker configuration with factory-installed standard aluminum lugs by using catalog number 3VA6340-6HL36-0AA0.
What is the supported wire size if I add standard aluminum lugs to this 3VA63 frame breaker?
If you install the standard single-cable aluminum lugs (such as Siemens part number 3VA9373-0JB13), the terminals will accept one 1 AWG to 600 kcmil copper or aluminum wire per phase.
What does the LI designation mean for the ETU320 trip unit?
The LI code indicates the electronic trip unit provides adjustable Long-Time (L) overload protection and adjustable Instantaneous (I) short-circuit protection. It does not include Short-Time or Ground Fault settings.
What is the adjustment range for the Long-Time and Instantaneous settings on this 400A breaker?
The Long-Time pickup (Ir) can be adjusted from 160A to 400A. The Instantaneous short-circuit pickup (Ii) is adjustable from 1.5 to 10 times the continuous current rating, which equates to a range of 600A to 4000A.
What type of Siemens equipment is this 3-pole breaker compatible with?
As a standard feed-thru molded case circuit breaker, it can be mounted in Siemens P3, P4, and P5 panelboards, as well as Siemens switchboards and Motor Control Centers (MCCs) using the proper mounting hardware.
Does this ETU320 trip unit feature a thermal memory function?
Yes, the ETU320 LI trip unit has a permanently active thermal memory that cannot be deactivated. This function tracks previous thermal history to prevent the breaker from being reset into an existing overload condition before the downstream circuit has adequately cooled.
