Coming Soon
We are also excited to announce the launch of 3VA 800A & 1000A Frames in P5 Panels & Switchboard distribution applications in the January 2022 COMPAS release scheduled for the end of the month. This includes both the 3VA55 & 3VA65 800A and 3VA66 1000A breakers. Features and benefits of these frames are as follows:
    

• 3VA55 TMTU 800A Frame requires only 8.75" of unit space, a 1.25”-unit space improvement vs. Mframe Sentron breakers
• The same strap kit assembly between 3VA55, 3VA65 and 3VA66 breakers
• New 3VA66 1000A frame which offers footprint and price savings vs. legacy 1200A frame
• Utilizes the same internal accessories as previously launched 3VA frames.

New Panelboard with 3VA Plug-in Breakers is now available 

The Siemens Apparatus team is excited to announce the launch of the newest distribution panel product. The Siemens Plug-in Circuit Breaker Panelboard, or “SiPP” for short, is a UL-listed product up to 800A, 480V available with either a 3VA 800A Main Breaker or Main Lug Only configurations. The SiPP utilizes 3VA6 150A & 250A breakers with the plug-in socket connector to land the breaker to the panel bus promoting a quicker addition or replacement of a branch breaker vs. a traditional fixed mount strap kit. 

The 3VA plug-in base technology makes this panel ideal for applications where downtime comes at a premium.  For more information, please reference the links below.
