The 3VA1010-2ED36-0AF0: This MCCB delivers 52.5 kA at 240 V, 32 kA at 415 V, 13.6 kA at 440 V, and 7.5 kA at 690 V. For a 480 V panel, the relevant figure is the 415 V or 440 V rating; pick the one that brackets your line-to-line voltage. The 690 V rating matters only if you're on a 600 V class system. These numbers govern your SCCR (short-circuit current rating) compliance per NEC 110.10 and UL 508A.
Thermal derating — don't size by the nameplate alone
At 55 °C it derates to 96 A, at 60 °C to 94 A, at 65 °C to 92 A, and at 70 °C to 90 A.
Auxiliary contacts and trip indication
The trip alarm signals when the breaker has opened on a fault — useful for remote annunciation or PLC input.
No rewiring needed if you're swapping from another 3-pole SENTRON 3VA frame; the line and load lug centers match the series pattern.
