Panel ambient temperature inside the enclosure — not the room — is what determines the usable continuous current; a crowded cabinet at 60 °C knocks off 12 A from the nameplate. The 140 mm width for a 4-pole frame is standard for SENTRON 3VA molded case breakers at this rating — verify the mounting footprint against the existing backplate or DIN-rail adapter before committing the panel layout. Maximum power dissipation is 42 W. In a sealed, non-ventilated enclosure that heat must be accounted for in the thermal budget; adjacent devices may need spacing or forced airflow.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1220-4GF42-0AE0 SENTRON MCCB, 200 A, 4-Pole, TM24","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1220-4GF42-0AE0 molded case circuit breaker, 200 A, 4-pole, TM240 release.
