Product details

SENTRON 3VA line protection breaker with undervoltage release

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA1020-3ED36-0CH0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) designed for line protection, carrying a continuous 20 A at 40 °C and holding that rating through 55 °C before a single-amp derate at 60 °C. Breaking capacity hits 75.6 kA at 240 V AC, stepping down to 52.5 kA at 415 V and 32 kA at 440 V — enough headroom for most industrial service-entrance or feeder panels where the available fault current is known. The 70 mm depth and 76.2 mm width fit standard 3-pole MCCB panel cutouts, so it drops into existing SENTRON or older 3WL/3VL footprints without re-drilling the mounting plate.

If your enclosure runs hotter (say 60 °C), you lose 1 A; at 70 °C you're still at 19 A, so the derate curve is shallow.

Integrated auxiliaries and undervoltage release

This variant ships with two auxiliary switches plus a trip alarm switch (HQ) factory-installed, and an undervoltage release (UVR) built in. The aux switches give you remote status: one set for the main contact position, one for the trip alarm. No communication module on this order code, so it's a standalone breaker — status goes back to the PLC via hardwired inputs, not fieldbus.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA1020-3ED36-0CH0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. The part is sourced to order through independent distribution; pricing and stock levels are confirmed at quote time.

Will 3VA1020-3ED36-0CH0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1020-3ED36-0AA0 without rewiring?

Yes, the 70 mm depth, 76.2 mm width, and 130 mm height are identical across the 3VA base frame, so the -0CH0 variant fits the same panel cutout and bus bar spacing as the -0AA0. The difference is in the internal release: -0CH0 adds the undervoltage release and the specific aux switch configuration.

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB at different voltages?

75.6 kA at 240 V AC, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 7.5 kA at both 500 V and 690 V.

What compliance documentation is available for 3VA1020-3ED36-0CH0?

As a Siemens SENTRON product, the 3VA series carries UL, CSA, and IEC certifications. Specific documentation including RoHS and REACH declarations is available through the manufacturer's standard documentation portal.
