What the 110 kA rating means for your panel
The Siemens 3VA2025-7HL36-0AC0 is a 3-pole IEC frame 100 circuit breaker with a 110 kA breaking capacity at 415 V — that is class C interrupting rating. For a main or feeder breaker on a high-fault industrial service, that SCCR headroom lets you avoid cascading an upstream trip or adding current-limiting fuses. The ETU320 LI trip unit gives you adjustable overload protection (Ir) from 10 to 25 A and short-circuit pickup (Ii) from 1.5 to 12 times the In of 25 A. That's a wide band for coordinating with downstream branch breakers or motor starters — you can set the magnetic trip high enough to ride through motor inrush without nuisance tripping, while keeping the thermal curve tight for the conductor ampacity.
Panel and wiring integration
Clamp connection terminals — no lugs or compression tools needed, just strip and torque. The 3VA2 frame 100 footprint is standard for Siemens IEC panels; it clips onto the DIN rail or mounts with screws on a mounting plate. Two HQ auxiliary switches are built in, so you get status feedback without adding a separate accessory block.
