Product details

The interrupting rating reaches 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, and 75.6 kA at 440 V — figures that govern fault-clearing capability at the point of common coupling.

Integration into a panel

The 3VA1116-5EF42-0AF0 measures 101.6 mm wide by 130 mm tall by 70 mm deep, fitting standard MCCB panel cutouts. The 4-pole footprint occupies roughly 4 inches of DIN-rail or mounting-plate width. The TM240 release is factory-set; no field adjustment of the thermal curve is intended. The auxiliary switch configuration (1 auxiliary + 1 trip alarm switch HQ) is integrated into the breaker body, so no external add-on block is required for status feedback.

Thermal derating across ambient temperature

At 55 °C it derates to 158 A, at 60 °C to 155 A, at 65 °C to 153 A, and at 70 °C to 150 A. This derating curve is per the datasheet; panel builders should account for internal enclosure temperature rise when sizing the breaker for continuous loads near the 160 A threshold.

Frequently asked questions

What are the interrupting ratings for 3VA1116-5EF42-0AF0 at different voltages?

The interrupting rating is 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at both 500 V and 690 V.

What is the width of 3VA1116-5EF42-0AF0 for panel cutout planning?

The width is 101.6 mm (4 inches), which is the standard 4-pole MCCB width for this SENTRON frame size.
