Product details

The Siemens 3VA2450-5JQ42-0AA0 is a SENTRON 3VA2 molded case circuit breaker rated for 500 A continuous current at 40-50 °C ambient, with a 4-pole configuration and an ETU560 electronic trip unit. That 500 A holds steady through 50 °C; above that it derates to 477 A at 55 °C, 455 A at 60 °C, 432 A at 65 °C, and 410 A at 70 °C — so if your panel runs hot, the real ampacity is the derated figure, not the nameplate.

The ETU560 includes communication capability (likely via a plug-in module, not built-in), and ground-fault monitoring uses summation current on L+N — that means a separate neutral CT or internal summation, not a residual current sensor on the supply side. No undervoltage release or voltage trip fitted on this order code; if you need those, the breaker accepts field-installable accessories.

The 3VA2225-5JQ32-0AK0 is a 250 A, 3-pole frame from the same 3VA2 family. The 3VA2450-5JQ42-0AA0 carries twice the current rating (500 A vs 250 A) and adds a fourth pole, so it's a physically larger frame — it will not drop into a panel cutout sized for the 250 A unit without reworking the mounting and bus connections. Both use the ETU trip platform, but the 500 A breaker's higher continuous rating and 4-pole footprint mean the panel design and cable sizing are different from the start.
