Siemens 3VL2506-2P Circuit Breaker

Siemens 3VL2506-2P is a VL-series molded-case circuit breaker designed for low-voltage distribution panels, configured as a two-pole, 60 A protective device for 480 V systems. The unit delivers 65 kA interrupting capacity at 480 V and is UL489-listed, reflecting Siemens’ standard for high-breaking-capacity protection. Built around a molded-case frame, it incorporates an electronic trip unit (ETU) to provide overcurrent protection with fast, precise tripping in the event of overloads or short circuits. The VL family is known for compact form factors that simplify enclosure layouts while maintaining coordination with other protective devices, and this 60 A variant is suitable for feeders, branch circuits, and motor-control circuits in light to moderate industrial applications. Typical applications include protection of 480 V feeders in manufacturing lines or commercial electrical installations where reliable fault interrupting performance is required, with the ETU helping minimize nuisance trips and improve selectivity in multi-device panels. Key data: 60 A rated current, 480 V nominal system voltage, 65 kA interrupting capacity at 480 V, UL 489 compliance, two-pole molded-case design, electronic trip unit (ETU).
