Product details

The Siemens 3VA1040-3ED36-0AA0 is a 3-pole SENTRON molded case circuit breaker rated for 40 A continuous current at 40 °C, with a TM210 thermal-magnetic release that handles overload and short-circuit protection in a single compact package. Breaking capacity reaches 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 distribution panels where high fault currents are a concern.

Dimensions are 130 mm tall, 76.2 mm wide, and 70 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint that fits most DIN-rail or panel-mount enclosures without re-drilling.

Rated insulation voltage is 800 V, and the maximum operating temperature range spans -25 °C to 70 °C, with storage from -40 °C to 80 °C. The breaker is designed for fixed installation without communication or neutral conductor retrofits.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1040-3ED36-0AA0 and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is 3VA1040-3ED36-0AA0's breaking capacity at 415 V?

At 415 V AC the breaker clears 52.5 kA, which covers most European industrial supply points with high fault levels.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA1040-3ED36-0AA0?

The SENTRON series carries IEC 60947-2 certification as a molded case circuit breaker; the reference code per IEC 81346-2 is Q.
