What this 3VA1 MCCB carries
The Siemens 3VA1180-5ED42-0AA0-ZD00 is a 4-pole IEC frame 160 molded case circuit breaker with a fixed 80 A thermal-magnetic trip unit (TM210). Its 55 kA Icu at 415 V places it in breaking capacity class M — enough for most industrial distribution panels fed from a 500 kVA transformer or smaller, where fault current at the main switchboard stays under that threshold.
The TM210 trip curve is thermal-magnetic, not electronic, so it's a direct swap for older Sentron or 3VL series breakers with the same frame and trip range.
The 4-pole footprint (3 protected phases + solid neutral) fits a 4-module cutout in a Siemens 8MC or 8MF distribution board. No auxiliary contacts or shunt trip are fitted as standard; order separately if remote trip indication or undervoltage release is needed.
