What the ratings mean for your panel
The Siemens 3VA1010-4ED36-0AC0 is a 3-pole IEC frame 100 molded-case circuit breaker with a 100 A fixed thermal-magnetic overload (TM210) and a short-circuit release set at 10× In (1000 A). The breaking capacity class S delivers 36 kA at 415 V AC — that is the maximum fault current it can safely interrupt without welding contacts or rupturing the case. For a 415 V distribution board, this SCCR covers most industrial transformer-fed busways; if your available fault current exceeds 36 kA, step up to the H (high) or L (very high) breaking capacity variant in the same 3VA1 frame.
Integration notes for the panel builder
Clamp terminals accept copper or aluminium conductors without lug preparation — strip length follows the terminal marking on the breaker body. The two factory-fitted auxiliary switches (HQ designation) provide NO/NC status feedback for PLC or remote indication; they share the same switching capacity as the main contacts and are wired via the screw terminals on the breaker side. Mounts on standard DIN rail or panel-mount via the optional rear-mounting bracket. The 3-pole footprint occupies three 27 mm module widths on the rail.
