Product details

The 40 A continuous rating holds from 40 °C through 50 °C, then derates to 39 A at 55 °C and 37 A at 70 °C — so if your panel ambient runs hot, you still get full current up to 50 °C without stepping up a frame size. Breaking capacity hits 121 kA at 240 V AC, drops to 75.6 kA at 415 V, and holds at 11.9 kA all the way to 690 V AC.

At 101.6 mm wide, 130 mm tall, and 70 mm deep, this 4-pole MCCB fits standard SENTRON mounting feet — direct panel mount or onto a DIN rail adapter. The IP40 front means it is protected against tool entry and >1 mm particles; it expects a closed enclosure in a typical panel.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity at 415 V?

75.6 kA at 415 V AC, which covers most 400 V class industrial distribution panels with ample margin.

What does the TM210 release mean?

TM210 is a fixed thermal-magnetic overcurrent release — thermal element for overload protection, magnetic element for short-circuit. No adjustment dials, no electronic trip unit. Simple, reliable, and standard for general line protection.

Where can I buy 3VA1040-4ED46-0AA0 and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.
