The Siemens 3VA1580-5EF32-0KH0 is a SENTRON molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for line protection, with a continuous current of 800 A up to 50 °C, derating to 722 A at 70 °C.
Interrupting capacity — the real-world headroom
This breaker delivers 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 52.5 kA at 690 V. That's high-interrupting capability for systems with high fault current — think large transformer secondaries or industrial distribution close to the utility service entrance.
Auxiliary and shunt trip configuration
That means remote tripping and status feedback are built in — no field retrofit of the accessory stack. The shunt trip is wired to a remote pushbutton or safety relay; the alarm switch signals the PLC when the breaker has tripped on fault.
