What this MCCB does on the line
The Siemens 3VA2010-5HL36-0CH0 is a SENTRON molded case circuit breaker rated for 100 A continuous current across the full ambient range from 40 °C to 70 °C — no derating needed as the panel warms up near the press. Its 187 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V gives you fault-clearing headroom for high-available-fault-current distribution, while the 3-pole design handles three-phase loads common in industrial ovens and curing lines.
Breaking capacity across voltage levels
The interrupting rating drops as system voltage rises: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3 kA at 690 V. For a 480 V panel feeding a curing press, the 75.6 kA figure is the one that governs SCCR coordination with upstream gear.
Mounting dimensions and panel fit
At 86 mm deep, 105 mm wide, and 181 mm tall, this breaker fits standard SENTRON 3VA mounting footprints. The 3-pole width of 105 mm matches the common panel cutout for 100 A frame MCCBs.
