Product details

This breaker delivers 121 kA breaking capacity at 240 V, dropping to 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. For a 480 V panel (common in North America), the relevant figure is the 440 V rating — 52.5 kA — which is the closest standard voltage below 480 V in the table.

Thermal derating — when 40 A is not 40 A

At 55 °C it derates to 39 A, at 65 °C to 38 A, and at 70 °C to 37 A. The insulation voltage rating is 800 V, which covers most low-voltage distribution networks up to 690 V phase-to-phase.

The breaker measures 130 mm high, 76.2 mm wide, and 70 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint that fits most DIN-rail or panel-mount enclosures.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 3VA1040-4ED36-0AA0?

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 the breaking capacity of this MCCB at 240 V?

The breaking capacity at 240 V is 121 kA. At 415 V it is 75.6 kA, at 440 V it is 52.5 kA, and at 500 V and 690 V it is 11.9 kA.

Does the 3VA1040-4ED36-0AA0 have a ground-fault monitoring function?

No, this variant is without ground-fault monitoring. It is a standard thermal-magnetic line protection breaker.
