Product details

This is the variant with the basic switch 3VA2450-5MN32-0AA0 inside, no auxiliary switch, and no communication module — a straightforward, hardwired motor protection breaker for a panel.

Above that, it derates: 495 A at 55 °C, 490 A at 60 °C, 485 A at 65 °C, and 480 A at 70 °C.

This MCCB's interrupting rating varies significantly with system voltage. At 240 V it's rated for 187 kA; at 415 V and 440 V it's 121 kA; at 500 V it drops to 75.6 kA; at 690 V it's 9 kA. The breaker also carries a 6 kA rating limited to 1 second, likely for short-time withstand during selective coordination studies.

Protection features and trip characteristics

Designed for motor protection, this breaker includes phase failure detection — a critical feature for three-phase motor loads where a lost phase can burn out a winding. The trip unit has a voltage trigger (undervoltage release is not fitted on this variant; the shunt trip is the only auxiliary release). Trip indicator is not present, so you won't get a visual flag on the breaker face after a trip — plan for remote indication via the shunt trip circuit or a separate auxiliary contact block.

Frequently asked questions

What is 3VA2450-5MN32-0KA0's listed depth and width?

The depth is 110 mm and the width is 138 mm, with a height of 248 mm.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA2450-5MN32-0KA0?

As a Siemens SENTRON product, this MCCB carries the standard industrial certifications expected for this class — UL, CSA, IEC, and CE markings are typical for the 3VA2 series. Specific documentation (RoHS, REACH, UL file number, IEC test reports) is available upon request with an RFQ.

What does the shunt trip (STL) release do on this breaker?

The shunt trip (STL) allows remote tripping of the breaker by applying a control voltage to the release coil. It's used for emergency stop circuits, remote shutdown, or interlocking schemes — no undervoltage release is fitted on this variant.

Does this breaker include phase failure protection?

Yes, phase failure detection is built in. This is essential for motor protection — if one phase drops out, the breaker will trip before single-phasing damages the motor.
