What it is and what it does
The Siemens SENTRON 3VA1010-2ED42-0DA0 is a 4-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) designed for line protection in distribution panels. It carries a TM210 thermal-magnetic overcurrent release and includes an undervoltage release (UVR) as the auxiliary release, meaning the breaker trips if supply voltage drops below a set threshold — a standard requirement for motor feeder circuits that need to prevent automatic restart after a power loss. Rated 100 A continuously at 40 °C ambient, with minimal derating up to 50 °C (still 100 A), then tapering to 91 A at 70 °C. The insulation voltage is rated 800 V, and the breaking capacity ranges from 52.5 kA at 240 V down to 7.5 kA at 690 V — covering most low-voltage fault scenarios in industrial and commercial mains.
Dimensions and panel fit
The breaker measures 70 mm deep, 101.6 mm wide, and 130 mm high — a standard 4-pole MCCB footprint that fits Siemens SENTRON mounting accessories and most DIN-rail or panel-mount enclosures. The 101.6 mm width (4 inches) is the critical dimension for multi-pole ganging in a distribution board; verify the busbar or line-side lug spacing matches before committing the BOM.
