It belongs to the 3VA series, the current-generation MCCB platform from Siemens, and carries a TM240 thermal-magnetic fixed-trip overcurrent release — meaning the thermal pickup and magnetic trip thresholds are factory-set for the 200 A frame, not field-adjustable.
Breaking capacity — the real fit number
Rated interrupting capacity varies sharply with system voltage: 220 kA at 240 V, 154 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. That level of interrupting capacity puts this breaker in the high-fault-current tier — sized for main or large-feeder positions where available fault current exceeds 100 kA.
Thermal derating — what the 200 A rating actually delivers
Above that, the continuous current must be derated: 392 A at 55 °C, 384 A at 60 °C, 376 A at 65 °C, and 367 A at 70 °C. If the panel interior runs hot — common in compact, high-density switchboards — use the 55 °C or 60 °C column for sizing.
