The Siemens 3VA4160-5ED34-3AA0 is a 3-pole molded-case circuit breaker from the 3VA4 series, UL Frame 125, rated 60 A continuous with a fixed overload protection Ir=60 A and short-circuit pickup Ii=10 x In (600 A). Its interrupting capacity of 35 kA at 480 V AC places it in the M (medium) breaking capacity class — enough for most commercial and light-industrial panelboards where fault currents stay under that threshold.
Lifecycle and sourcing
Export control is straightforward: AL N / ECCN EAR99, no special licensing required for most destinations.
Compliance and documentation
RoHS compliant since 13-05-19. REACH Article 33 disclosure applies — the part contains lead (CAS 7439-92-1) above 0.1% w/w, which is typical for electrical contacts and solder joints in this class. The manufacturer provides a declaration of conformity and material data upon request.
