3VA molded case circuit breakers comply with the following degrees of protection as defined
by IEC 60529 and IEC 60947-1, Appendix C:
Degree of protection IP40 is achieved when a 3VA molded case circuit breaker is installed in
a switchboard with a door cutout including release (see below). The units can be upgraded
to comply with higher degrees of protection up to IP65 by installation of the following
components:
● Door mounted rotary operator
● Side wall mounted rotary operator
Maximum door cutout IP40:
Handle and release are freely accessible, the control cabinet door closes flush with the
molded case circuit breaker.
The 3VA1 and 3VA2 molded case circuit breakers meet the specifications of the European
Environment Guideline 2002 / 95 / EU RoHS directive (Restriction of the use of certain
hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment). The development and
production processes have been devised to have the lowest possible environmental impact.
