That kind of muscle means it'll handle a hard fault on a big motor feeder or a main panel without welding its contacts shut. The 80 A rating holds steady from 40 °C up through 50 °C, then starts a gentle taper: 78 A at 55 °C, 77 A at 60 °C, 75 A at 65 °C, and 74 A at 70 °C. Power loss maxes out at 19.2 W, so it's not a heat bomb in the enclosure. That's a four-inch width on the panel face, so it takes up a standard MCCB slot. It's designed for screw-mounting on a backplate or DIN rail adapter; no communication module inside, so it's a straight power path. The N-conductor protection is rated at 100%, meaning the neutral pole is fully rated, not a reduced cross-section. There's no ground-fault monitoring built in — if you need that, you'll add an external module. The design accepts an optional motor drive (Product Extension / Optional / Motor Drive: Yes), so you can motorize it for remote tripping or reclosing if the application calls for it. That covers most plant-floor conditions — unheated warehouses in winter, hot mezzanines in summer.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1180-5GF42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 80 A, 4-Pole, 187 k","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1180-5GF42-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 80 A, 4-pole, TM240 release.

The 3VA1180-5GF42-0AA0 carries a higher interrupting capacity (187 kA vs lower ratings on the 3VA1110), so it's a functional upgrade for the same panel cutout — no rewiring needed, but verify the upstream fault current matches the higher rating."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA1180-5GF42-0AA0","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA1180-5GF42-0AA0 when reusing this data.
