[Audio] © Siemens AG 2009 3VL Molded Case Circuit Breakers 3VL Molded Case Circuit Breakers up to 1600 A General data 3. For starter combinations (in 3-pole version) ■ Benefits The compact design of the SENTRON 3VL circuit breakers coupled with excellent characteristics fulfills the high demands of today's electrical distribution systems. These circuit breakers are used both for short-circuit protection as well as for isolating functions, which may be required in starter combinations consisting of circuit breakers, overload relays and motor contactors. These circuit breakers exclusively feature adjustable, instantaneous short-circuit releases. These circuit breakers offer a broad product range, improved 4. As non-automatic air circuit breakers (in 3- and 4-pole technology, space savings and easy operation. They are available both in thermal-magnetic (16 A to 630 A) and in electronic versions (63 A to 1600 A). Communication versions) These circuit breakers can be used as feeder circuit breakers, main control switches or non-automatic circuit breakers without overload protection. They incorporate an integrated shortcircuit self-protection system, eliminating the need for backup fuses. Switching capacity N Circuit breakers with standard switching capacity N (Icu up to 55 kA at 415 V) H The use of modern communication-capable circuit breakers opens up completely new possibilities in terms of start-up, parameterization, diagnostics, maintenance and operation. This allows many different ways of reducing costs and improving productivity in industrial plants, buildings and infrastructure projects to be achieved: Fast and reliable parameterization Timely information and response can prevent plant Circuit breakers with high switching capacity H (Icu up to 70 kA at 415 V) stoppages Effective diagnostics management L Circuit breakers with very high switching capacity L (Icu up to 100 kA at 415 V) These circuit breakers are indicated in the selection and ordering data by orange backgrounds. Measured values are the basis for efficient load management, for drawing up power demand profiles and for assigning power to cost centers. Standards and specifications Communication: For molded case circuit breakers with communication function SENTRON 3VL circuit breakers comply with: see pages 16/14, 16/15, 16/18, 16/19, 16/26, 16/34, 16/35, 16/38, 16/39, 16/46. IEC 60947-1, EN 60947-1, IEC 60947-2, EN 60947-2, Isolating features according to IEC 60947-2, EN 60947-2. For accessories, see page 16/90. For more informationen see also the chapter "Power Management System" and "Software for Power Distribution". ■ Application Disconnecting features (main control switches) according to EN 60204-1. The SENTRON 3VL circuit breakers comply in addition with requirements for "disconnector units with features for stopping and switching off in an emergency" (EMERGENCYSTOP switches) in conjunction with lockable rotary operating mechanisms (red-yellow) and terminal covers. 16 Please contact Siemens for details of other standards. The different versions of SENTRON 3VL circuit breakers are suitable for the following applications: Incoming and outgoing circuit breakers in distribution systems Switching and protection devices for motors, transformers and capacitors The electronic releases of the circuit breakers for motor protection also comply with IEC 60947-4-1. Disconnector units with features for stopping and switching off VL160X to VL400 circuit breakers can be equipped with a SENTRON 3VL RCD module. They then comply with IEC 60947-2 Appendix B..
