Thermal derating is documented across the operating range: the breaker holds 20 A continuously from 40 °C through 50 °C, then steps down to 19.2 A at 55 °C, 18.8 A at 60 °C, 18.4 A at 65 °C, and 18 A at 70 °C. This curve matters when the breaker is enclosed in a warm panel or mounted adjacent to other heat sources — the 70 °C rating is the one to use for worst-case ambient calculations. ## Auxiliary and undervoltage release configuration This breaker ships with an integrated undervoltage release (UVR) — design code 6EF36 indicates the UVR is factory-installed. The trip alarm switch changes state only on a fault trip, not on manual switching, which is useful for distinguishing between intentional isolation and protective interruption. The auxiliary release order code for replacement or spare parts is 3VA9608-0BB24. Physical dimensions are 130 mm height, 76.2 mm width, and 70 mm depth, which fits the standard SENTRON 3VA mounting footprint for 3-pole frames. The part carries no communication function, no phase failure detection, and no ground fault monitoring — it is a straightforward thermal-magnetic line protection breaker with undervoltage release, suited for fixed-trip applications where adjustable electronic trip units are not required.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1120-6EF36-0CH0 SENTRON MCCB, 20A, 220kA at 240V","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1120-6EF36-0CH0 SENTRON 3-pole molded case circuit breaker, 20A rated, TM240 release, 220kA at 240V.
