The Siemens 3VA1110-6MH36-0AH0 is a 3-pole IEC molded-case circuit breaker on the 3VA1 platform, frame size 160, with a 100 A thermal-magnetic release (TM120M) configured for starter protection — meaning it provides short-circuit protection only, with no built-in overload function (that is handled by a separate motor starter or overload relay upstream). That rating places it in the high-capacity tier for this frame size — suitable for installations with high available fault current, such as large motor control centers or main distribution panels. The adjustable short-circuit release (Ii) spans 5 to 15 times In (500 A to 1500 A), letting you tune the magnetic trip threshold to the inrush characteristics of the connected load — typically a motor starter combination.
Integration notes
Clamp-type terminals accept copper or aluminum conductors without lugs — a time-saver in panel wiring. The 3VA1 platform shares accessory footprints with the broader Siemens 3VA family, so shunt trips, undervoltage releases, and motor operators are interchangeable.
