MCCB for line protection — 100 A continuous, TM210 release
The 3-pole design fits three-phase distribution panels where the neutral is protected separately or not at all. Breaking capacity is specified at four voltage levels: 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 7.5 kA at 690 V. For a 415 V distribution board — common in European industrial plants — the 52.5 kA figure gives substantial headroom above the typical 25–36 kA prospective fault level, so selectivity with downstream MCBs is achievable without a current-limiting upstream breaker. Thermal derating is published across the full operating range: the breaker holds 100 A from 40 °C through 50 °C, then steps down to 96 A at 55 °C, 94 A at 60 °C, 92 A at 65 °C, and 90 A at 70 °C. If the panel ambient sits at 55 °C — not unusual in a sealed enclosure near process heat — the usable rating drops to 96 A, so the feeder should be loaded to that figure, not the nameplate 100 A.
Integrated undervoltage release and auxiliary contacts
The integrated auxiliary trip order code is 3VA9608-0BB24 — relevant if you need a replacement or spare for the internal shunt trip assembly.
Active production — no lifecycle concern
The lifecycle stage is listed as current, meaning Siemens continues to manufacture this order code without a phase-out notice. For a BOM line that needs repeatability across builds, this is the straightforward choice — no last-time-buy clock, no successor cross-reference to manage.
Envelope and panel fit
The 76.2 mm width is a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint — three 25.4 mm (1-inch) pole spacings — so it drops into existing panel cutouts and busbar systems designed for that pitch.
