Installation Instructions
The following instructions are for the installation of Siemens strap kit S3VA55TD in a Distribution Switchboard or P5 Power
Panel. It is for use with a Siemens Type 3VA55 (MMAS, HMAS or CMAS) or Type 3VA65 (MMAE, HMAE or CMAE) breaker
as a Main or Branch device in an 800A application, or Type 3VA66 (MMNAE, HMNAE or CMNAE) breaker as a Main or Branch
device in a 1000A application. The parts provided in this kit connect these breakers to a 1-phase, 2 or 3-wire system or a
3-phase 3 or 4-wire system. This kit requires 8.75” of unit space. Breaker kit can be installed as shown or rotated 180°. (If
rotated, interchange A-phase and C-phase references in the assembly instructions.)
NOTE: The breakers and breaker lugs are NOT included in this kit and must be purchased separately.

To locate
the proper mounting position, measure from the top
deadfront support to the top of the empty unit space
filler on the deadfront. Transfer this dimension from
the deadfront support along the Z-rail and mark. This
will be
the unit space (as shown in Figure 3). After
marking the Z-rail, remove the deadfront.
