Rated breaking capacity (Icu) is 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 52.5 kA at 690 V. At 415 V — the common European low-voltage distribution level — 121 kA gives you substantial headroom above typical utility fault levels (usually 25–50 kA), so you can design selective coordination downstream without worrying about the main breaker opening on a fault that a branch breaker should clear. ## Thermal derating and continuous current At 60 °C it derates to 955 A, at 65 °C to 885 A, and at 70 °C to 815 A. ## Trip unit and protection functions Ground-fault monitoring uses summation current formation on L + N conductors. N-conductor protection is adjustable: OFF, 50%, or 100% of the phase rating. Dimensions: 280 mm wide, 320 mm high, 120 mm deep. The 280 mm width is the critical dimension for panel layout.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2510-5HM42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 1000 A, 4-Pole, ETU","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2510-5HM42-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 1000 A continuous, 4-pole, ETU330 release.
