The Siemens 3VA1040-2ED32-0AA0-ZD00 is a 3-pole IEC frame 100 circuit breaker rated at 40 A with a breaking capacity of 16 kA at 415 V (class B). It uses a TM210 thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed overload protection set at Ir=40 A and fixed short-circuit protection at Ii=10 x In. This variant includes a nut keeper kit and is configured for DC Power OEM applications in China.
The fixed Ir=40 A means the thermal overload is not adjustable; if your load draws 40 A continuous, this is a direct fit. The Ii=10 x In (400 A short-circuit pickup) is a fixed magnetic setting, so it will hold motor inrush but trip fast on hard faults.
Deployment Context
The nut keeper kit simplifies captive hardware handling during assembly, which is a small but real time-saver on repetitive builds.
