Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA1116-4FF42-0AA0 is a 4-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated at 80 A continuous, built for line protection in distribution panels. The TM240 thermal-magnetic release handles overloads and short circuits without external trip electronics — a straightforward choice for fixed-load feeders where you want field-proven reliability, not configurable curves. Breaking capacity is what decides whether this breaker clears a fault without welding its contacts or rupturing the case. At 240 V it interrupts 121 kA; at 415 V it still holds 75.6 kA. Those numbers drop to 52.5 kA at 440 V and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V — so for a 480 V panel you are working with 52.5 kA of interrupting rating, which covers most industrial service-entrance and feeder applications.

Panel footprint: 101.6 mm wide, 130 mm tall, 70 mm deep. Four-pole width means it occupies four module spaces on a DIN rail — plan the gland plate and busbar drop accordingly. IP40 on the front keeps dust out of the mechanism; no special sealing for washdown environments. Power loss is 38 W at full load. That heat has to leave the enclosure — in a sealed stainless cabinet you will want to check the thermal rise against the 70 °C operating maximum and the -25 °C minimum.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1116-4FF42-0AA0 at 240 V?

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

Where can I buy 3VA1116-4FF42-0AA0?

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

What type of overcurrent release does 3VA1116-4FF42-0AA0 use?

TM240 thermal-magnetic release — fixed thermal and magnetic trip settings, no electronic adjustment.
