3VA5220-6EC31-0AA0 - HFAS 200 Amp Circuit Breaker

3VA5220-6EC31-0AA0 - HFAS 200 Amp Circuit Breaker

The Siemens 3VA5220-6EC31-0AA0 is one of those breakers you spec when you just want it handled—no surprises later. It’s a 200 amp, 3-pole unit built on the 3VA5 platform, and it’s meant for real-world electrical systems where things don’t always go perfectly. With a 65kA interrupting rating at 480V, it’s ready for higher fault conditions, so you’re not cutting it close. And instead of adjustable settings that can get misconfigured, this one uses a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. That means what you install is what you get—steady, predictable protection without needing to mess with it. It’s a straightforward breaker, but in a good way. Install it, wire it up, and move on to the next job.
