The Siemens 3VA1112-5MH32-0CC0 is a 3-pole IEC frame 160 molded case circuit breaker rated 125 A continuous, with a breaking capacity of 55 kA at 415 V AC — class M on the Siemens scale, meaning it sits above standard distribution duty and handles moderate industrial fault levels without cascading upstream. This is a starter-protection variant (TM120M thermal-magnetic release, AM characteristic) configured for short-circuit protection only — there is no built-in overload protection, so it pairs with a separate overload relay for motor branch circuits. The adjustable instantaneous trip range is 5 to 15 times In. The UVR drops the breaker on loss of control voltage — common for emergency-stop chains or undervoltage protection schemes.
Integration notes for panel builders
The UVR coil draws continuously when energized; verify the control transformer sizing if the breaker shares a 120 V AC control bus with multiple UVRs. They are pre-wired with screw terminals; no additional terminal blocks needed for basic signaling.
