Siemens 3VA5210-6EC31-1AA0 Circuit Breaker
Overview
Mounted in a standard DIN rail enclosure, the 3VA5210-6EC31-1AA0 is a three-pole thermal-magnetic molded-case circuit breaker from Siemens' SENTRON 3VA5 family, rated for 100 A per pole and intended for branch protection in AC distribution systems. The device uses a lever actuator and ships in box packaging as an active, non-RoHS-compliant catalog entry.

Design and Compliance Notes
Mechanical Construction
The three-pole configuration places all poles on a common mounting footprint suitable for symmetrical DIN rail installation. The lever actuator provides visible, tactile confirmation of the breaker state and supports manual operation for isolation and reset functions.
Regulatory Approvals
The unit carries CCC, CE, EAC, and UL489 certifications, covering use in multiple regulatory jurisdictions. The presence of CSA and VDE listings in comparison rows indicates those approvals are not shared by the primary part; differing approval scope is a selection-level distinction across the 3VA5 family variants.

Why These Are Catalog-Peers
- 3VA5210-6EC31-0AA0 shares identical series, pole count, current rating, mounting, and actuator type. The suffix difference indicates a distinct terminal or accessory variant; notably, this alternate includes CSA and VDE approvals absent from the primary.
- 3VA5210-6EC32-1AA0 and 3VA5210-6EC36-1AA0 are parametric matches across all primary specs (100 A, 3 poles, lever, DIN Rail, box). The mid-position code variant reflects internal family subdivision; neither adds CSA/VDE where the primary does not have them either.
- All listed parts share "FTAM" in the title, indicating a common functional type designation within the 3VA5 ordering structure.
FAQ
Q: What is the breaking capacity of the 3VA5210-6EC31-1AA0?
A: The catalog title lists 65 kA; this rating is present in the family designation but the short-circuit rating is not explicitly quoted as a separate spec field in this record.
Q: Can the 3VA5210-6EC31-0AA0 serve as a direct replacement for the primary part?
A: The alternate shares all primary electrical and mechanical parameters. Approval differences (CSA/VDE present on the alternate, absent on the primary) mean the interchange requires the user's own qualification for the target installation jurisdiction.
Q: What distinguishes the NAV suffix in the primary part number?
A: Within the Siemens 3VA5 series, position-based digits encode variant characteristics such as terminal configuration or accessories; the catalog title "NAV" is the end-use designation reflecting those internal code positions.
