Siemens 3VA1 100 A Manual page 116

Applications
3.1 Line protection applications of 3VA molded case circuit breakers
5-series and 8-series electronic trip units
Parameter input via display unit
With 5-series and 8-series electronic trip units, it is possible to set more parameters and
scale the selection of parameters more finely than for 3-series trip units.
Parameters are set via the display unit and its buttons. This functionality is available,
however, only if a separate, dedicated power supply is connected to the molded case circuit
breakers.
Potential alternatives for this power supply:
● 24 V supplied externally via:
– EFB300 external function box
– temporarily connected TD300 or TD500 test device
– internal 24 V module
– internal COM060 communication module
● Current flow > 20 % I
A description of the parameter display can be found in chapter "Operator controls
(Page 90)".
Additional features of 8-series units
In addition to the features shared with 5-series trip units, 8-series units also offer:
● An integrated voltage tap, plus an external voltage tap in the case of 3-pole molded case
circuit breakers
● Additional sensing of power measurements (function requires an external 24 V supply)
