The Siemens 3VA2510-5HL42-0DA0 is a 4-pole IEC frame 1000 molded-case circuit breaker with a 55 kA interrupting capacity at 415 V AC (breaking capacity class M). The N-conductor protection is adjustable (OFF, 50%, 100%), letting the user match the neutral protection to the system grounding scheme (solidly grounded, impedance-grounded, or ungrounded).
Deployment context
The 3VA2 frame is a panel-mount breaker — it bolts into a switchboard or distribution panel, not a DIN rail. The nut keeper kit (included) simplifies mounting in tight enclosures where a dropped nut means fishing it out from behind live busbars. The undervoltage release is an integral accessory, so no separate wiring of a shunt trip or UVR module is needed; just connect the control voltage to the release terminals.
