The Siemens 3VA1010-2ED32-0HA0 is a 3-pole IEC Frame 100 circuit breaker rated 100 A with a switching capacity class B interrupting capacity of 16 kA at 415 V. It is configured for system protection with a TM210 thermal-magnetic trip unit — fixed overload protection at Ir=100 A and fixed short-circuit protection at Ii = 10 × In (1000 A). This is a DIN-rail-mounting breaker sized for distribution panels and sub-distribution boards where the 16 kA SCCR at 415 V is sufficient for the fault level at the point of installation. The lug terminals accept standard copper conductors; no adapter kit needed for panel wiring.
For a panel with a prospective fault current above 16 kA at the breaker's location, you would need a higher-capacity frame (class C or higher) or upstream current-limiting fuses to coordinate. The fixed Ir=100 A means this breaker is not field-adjustable for overload pickup — it is a dedicated 100 A thermal-magnetic unit. If the connected load draws less than 100 A continuously, the breaker still protects at its fixed rating; if the load is expected to exceed 100 A, select a higher-rated frame. The fixed Ii=1000 A (10 × In) short-circuit pickup is suitable for motor circuits where the inrush may reach 6-8× FLA, but verify coordination with downstream branch devices. The shunt release coil draws power only during the trip command — it is not continuously energized. The 12-30 V DC / 24 V AC control voltage range covers common industrial control voltages; verify the control transformer or DC supply matches the coil rating before wiring.
