MCCB for line protection with ETU320 trip unit
The Siemens 3VA2010-8HL46-0AA0 is a SENTRON molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 100 A continuous current across the full ambient temperature range from 40 °C to 70 °C — no derating needed up to that ceiling. Its four-pole design and electronic ETU320 overcurrent release make it a fit for line protection in distribution panels where selectivity and adjustable trip curves are required. Breaking capacity reaches 440 kA at 240 V AC, stepping to 330 kA at 415/440 V, 220 kA at 500 V, and 52.5 kA at 690 V. That SCCR headroom covers most industrial service-entrance and feeder applications without needing a current-limiting fuse upstream.
Integration notes
Dimensions are 181 mm high, 140 mm wide, and 86 mm deep — a standard SENTRON 3VA footprint that fits existing panel layouts. Front-side IP40 protection covers the operator interface; the breaker is designed for line protection without undervoltage release or communication functions, so it's a straightforward replacement in a distribution board.
