What the 65 kA @ 480 V rating means for your panel
The 3VA4112-6ED34-3AA0 is a 3-pole Siemens 3VA4 UL Frame 125 molded-case circuit breaker rated for 65 kA interrupting capacity at 480 VAC — that is the maximum fault current it can safely clear without welding contacts or rupturing the case. The TM210 FTFM thermal-magnetic trip unit is factory-set with a fixed overload protection at Ir = 125 A (no adjustment band) and a fixed short-circuit pickup at Ii = 10 × In (1250 A). That makes it a straight line-protection breaker — no LSIG or electronic adjustment — so it is a direct drop-in for a BOM that calls for a fixed 125 A thermal-magnetic on a feeder or large motor branch circuit.
