This covers high-fault utility feeds and large motor branch circuits without cascading upstream. The continuous current rating holds at 1000 A from 40 °C through 50 °C, then derates to 960 A at 55 °C, 940 A at 60 °C, 920 A at 65 °C, and 900 A at 70 °C. For a panel running at 55 °C ambient, the usable rating drops 40 A — plan the load accordingly. Dimensions are 210 mm wide, 320 mm high, and 120 mm deep. That heat must be ventilated or factored into the enclosure thermal budget — at full load the breaker dissipates the equivalent of a small space heater inside the panel. ## Release and auxiliary configuration The TM240 overcurrent release is a thermal-magnetic type — fixed thermal pickup for overload, magnetic instantaneous for short-circuit. It ships with 4 auxiliary switches (HQ type) pre-installed.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1510-5EF32-0AE0 SENTRON MCCB, 1000A, 3-Pole, TM24","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1510-5EF32-0AE0 molded case circuit breaker, 1000A at 40°C, 3-pole, TM240 release.

The 3VA1510 carries a higher continuous rating (1000 A vs the 3VA1110's lower rating) and a different TM release — verify the load study and available fault current before swapping."},{"question":"What compliance documentation is available for this MCCB?","answer":"As a Siemens SENTRON product, it carries IEC/EN 60947-2 certification for molded case circuit breakers. RoHS and REACH declarations are standard from Siemens.
