Model Designation Interpretation (Speculative, Based on 3VT8 Series Naming Rules)
The model “3VT8-63H102” provided by the user is a simplified version; the complete model usually contains more detailed information. The speculative meaning of each part is as follows:
| Model Segment | Speculative Meaning | Description |
| 3VT8 | Siemens SENTRON 3VT8 Series Molded Case Circuit Breaker | Discontinué, replaced by 3VA/3VM/3VC series |
| 63 | Courant nominal (Dans): 63UN | Maximum current for long-term operation at 40掳C ambient temperature |
| H | Breaking Capacity Class: Class H (50le) | Breaking capacity classes of 3VT8 series: Class N (25le), Class H (50le), Class L (65le) |
| 102 | Speculated as a combination of frame current + pole number/trip unit type | 100A frame (VT100), 2-pole configuration, Thermal-Magnetic Trip unit (TMF) |
Most Probable Corresponding Complete Models: 3VT8106-1AA03-0AA0 (3-pôle, 63UN, Class H breaking capacity, TMF trip unit) or 3VT8106-1AA04-0AA0 (4-pôle)
