Its interrupting capacity reaches 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V AC, and 75.6 kA at 440 V AC — figures that govern selectivity coordination in high-fault panels. This is a line-protection device (not a motor-protection or ground-fault variant), with no undervoltage release, no voltage trigger, no communication module, and no phase-failure detection. The auxiliary contact version carries 2 auxiliary switches HP. The TM240 release is a fixed thermal-magnetic type — no interchangeable trip units, no electronic adjustment. For the buyer specifying a panel, the rating at 40 °C through 50 °C holds flat at 160 A; derating begins at 55 °C (153.6 A) and steps down to 144 A at 70 °C.
The 3VA1116-5EF36-0AB0 measures 130 mm high, 76.2 mm wide, and 70 mm deep. The front face carries an IP40 protection class — suitable for indoor switchgear enclosures where no water jets or dust ingress are expected.
DC rating and application notes
The maximum rated operational voltage for DC circuits is 500 V. For DC switching power values, the manufacturer directs to the 3VA molded case circuit breaker device manual — the manual covers the specific DC derating and configuration for this frame.
