Product details

80 A, 4-pole, 52.5 kA — the line-protection MCCB with UVR

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA1080-2ED42-0DC0 is a 4-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 80 A continuous current (Iu) at 40 °C, with a TM210 thermal-magnetic overcurrent release. It carries a 52.5 kA breaking capacity at 240 V, stepping down to 32 kA at 415 V, 13.6 kA at 440 V, and 7.5 kA at 690 V — so it handles high fault currents on the secondary side of a distribution transformer without cascading upstream. This is the line-protection version (not motor-protection), meaning the TM210 release curve is sized for cable and busbar protection in main or sub-distribution panels.

Above that, derating is gradual: 76.8 A at 55 °C, 75.2 A at 60 °C, 73.6 A at 65 °C, and 72 A at 70 °C.

Integrated undervoltage release and auxiliary contacts

It also carries two HQ auxiliary switches for remote status indication.

The 101.6 mm width is a standard 4-pole MCCB footprint — it occupies four 25.4 mm module spaces on a DIN rail or panel-mount plate. Front protection is IP40, so it's fine for general-purpose indoor panels but not washdown zones.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 3VA1080-2ED42-0DC0 and what is the lead time?

This MCCB is sourced and quoted to order through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for the latest position.

What is the closest functional alternative to 3VA1080-2ED42-0DC0?

The 3VA1010-2ED42-0AE0 is a lower-current sibling in the same SENTRON 3VA platform. The 3VA1080 carries the 80 A frame; the 3VA1010 is a 100 A frame with different release tuning. Both share the 4-pole layout and UVR option, but the 3VA1080-2ED42-0DC0 uses the TM210 release while the 3VA1010-2ED42-0AE0 uses a TM240. They are not drop-in interchangeable without recalculating the coordination study.

Will 3VA1080-2ED42-0DC0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1010-2ED42-0AE0 without rewiring?

Physically the same 4-pole footprint (101.6 mm width), so it mounts in the same DIN or panel cutout. But the 80 A vs 100 A rating and different release curves mean the downstream cable sizing and selective coordination must be verified before swapping.

What compliance documentation does this breaker carry?

As a SENTRON 3VA series MCCB, it is designed to IEC 60947-2 and carries CE marking for the European market. UL/CSA listings are typical for the platform but should be confirmed against the specific variant. RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Siemens documentation.
