This 3VA1 Frame 160 Breaker
The Siemens 3VA1112-5GF42-0AA0-ZD00 is a 3VA1 IEC frame 160 molded-case circuit breaker, breaking capacity class M rated Icu=55kA @ 415V, 4-pole. It carries a TM240 thermal-magnetic trip unit with ATAM (adjustable thermal, adjustable magnetic) — overload protection Ir adjustable from 88A to 125A, short-circuit protection Ii adjustable 5...10 x In. N-conductor protection is set at 100%. Includes a nut keeper kit for DC Power OEM applications, specified for builds in China.
The class M designation sits between standard (S) and very high (H) in the 3VA line, giving you selectivity headroom for downstream distribution panels without overspending on the H frame.
