The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2010-6HN36-0AD0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 100 A continuous current, designed for line protection in distribution panels and motor control centers. Breaking capacity reaches 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 3 kA at 690 V — covering most low-voltage fault scenarios in industrial installations. Rated insulation voltage is 800 V, and the breaker carries its full 100 A rating across the entire operating temperature range of -25 °C to 70 °C without derating.
Dimensions and integration
Panel footprint is 105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, and 86 mm deep — standard for this SENTRON frame size, fitting existing 3VA cutouts and busbar arrangements. Supplied with a basic switch 3VA20106HN360AA0 and provisions for up to 3 auxiliary switches HQ, enabling status feedback to a PLC or remote I/O without an add-on module. Maximum power dissipation at rated current is 13.5 W, which matters for enclosure thermal budgeting in sealed or high-ambient panels.
Lifecycle and sourcing
Storage temperature range of -40 °C to 80 °C covers unheated warehouses and shipping conditions.
Selectivity and coordination note
With a 100 A continuous rating and high breaking capacity (242 kA at 240 V), this MCCB is suited for main or feeder duty where upstream fault levels are high. The 3-pole design covers three-phase loads; no ground-fault monitoring version is fitted (without). No undervoltage release or communication function is built in — coordination with a shunt trip or remote control requires an external accessory.
