Breaker rating and what it means for your panel
The Siemens 3VA4160-5ED14-3AA0 is a 1-pole UL Frame 125 molded case circuit breaker in the 3VA4 series, rated for line protection with a fixed thermal-magnetic TM210 trip unit. The In is set at 60 A permanently — no adjustment range on the overload — and the instantaneous short-circuit pickup Ii is fixed at 10 × In, or 600 A. That fixed pickup means it's a straight choice for a dedicated feeder or branch where you don't want field-adjustable trip settings drifting on you. Breaking capacity is 35 kA at 277 V, class M. Verify available fault current at the breaker's location does not exceed 35 kA.
Compliance and documentation for the BOM file
RoHS compliant since 13-05-19. REACH Article 33 disclosure applies: lead (CAS 7439-92-1) present above 0.1% w/w in the product. That means if you're shipping into a jurisdiction requiring REACH SVHC declarations, you need to pass that notification downstream. Export control is AL N / ECCN EAR99 — no special licensing for most destinations, but verify your end-use if it's going into a controlled facility.
Integration notes for the panel builder
Packaged dimensions 472 × 396 × 213 mm — that's a fair-sized box for a single breaker, consistent with the UL Frame 125 physical envelope. Plan for the gland plate and wire-bending space per NEC Table 312.6(A) for the 60 A conductors; the fixed thermal setting means no derating curve to recalculate for ambient temperature, but the standard 40 °C calibration applies.
