3VA molded case circuit breakers comply with the following degrees of protection as defined
by IEC 60529 and IEC 60947-1, Annex C:
Degree of protection IP30 is achieved when a 3VA molded case circuit breaker is installed in
a switchboard with a door cutout including cover frame (see below).
Handle and trip unit are freely accessible, the panel door closes flush with the molded case
circuit breaker.
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
The 3VA1 and 3VA2 molded case circuit breakers meet the specifications of the European
Environment Guideline 2011 / 65 / 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.
