Product details

It carries a 1000 A frame at 40 °C, 3-pole, with a short-circuit breaking capacity of 187 kA at 240 V — that rating means it clears a fault at that level without upstream damage, critical for high-fault utility feeds. The interrupting curve drops to 121 kA at 415/440 V and 75.6 kA at 500 V, so the installed SCCR must be coordinated with the available fault current at the point of common coupling.

Lifecycle status is current — this is an active catalog number, not a phase-out or last-time-buy.

Panel footprint: 210 mm wide, 320 mm tall, 120 mm deep. The 3-pole body accepts line- and load-side lugs for copper or aluminum conductors.

Thermal derating: the 1000 A rating holds through 50 °C ambient. Above that, it steps down — 960 A at 55 °C, 940 A at 60 °C, 920 A at 65 °C, 900 A at 70 °C. For a panel with internal temperature rise, size the continuous load against the derated value at the actual enclosure ambient, not the nameplate 1000 A. Maximum power loss is 332.5 W, which must be factored into the enclosure ventilation calculation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the short-circuit breaking capacity of 3VA1510-5EF32-0BC0 at 240 V?

187 kA at 240 V. At 415 V and 440 V it is 121 kA, at 500 V it is 75.6 kA, and at 690 V it is 52.5 kA.

What is the continuous current rating of this MCCB at 40 °C?

1000 A at 40 °C. The rating derates above 50 °C: 960 A at 55 °C, 940 A at 60 °C, 920 A at 65 °C, 900 A at 70 °C.

Where can I buy 3VA1510-5EF32-0BC0?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

What auxiliary switches and releases does 3VA1510-5EF32-0BC0 include?
