Product details

Its 20 A continuous current (Iu) holds at ambient up to 50 °C without derating; above that the thermal curve drops to 19.2 A at 55 °C and 18 A at 70 °C — relevant if the panel runs hot near the top of a sealed enclosure. The TM240 overcurrent release is a fixed thermal-magnetic type — no adjustable trip curve, so it's a straight swap for a panel that already calls for a 20 A TM240 MCCB. Auxiliary contacts come as 2 HQ switches, which is enough to signal the breaker state back to a PLC or status lamp without an add-on module.

Breaking capacity — what the voltages mean

This MCCB delivers 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. That 187 kA at 240 V is the headline number for North American 240/120 V split-phase or 240 V three-phase panels; the 121 kA at 415 V covers most European 400 V industrial grids.

Dimensions are 130 mm height, 76.2 mm width, 70 mm depth — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint that fits most DIN-rail or panel-mount enclosures.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1120-5EF32-0AC0?

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

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1120-5EF32-0AC0 at different voltages?

At 240 V it interrupts 187 kA, at 415 V it interrupts 121 kA, at 440 V it interrupts 75.6 kA, and at 690 V it interrupts 17 kA.

Will 3VA1120-5EF32-0AC0 drop into a panel built for 3VA1110-5EE32-0JA0?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs with the same 130 mm height, 76.2 mm width, and 70 mm depth, so the physical footprint is identical. The key difference is the overcurrent release: the 3VA1120-5EF32-0AC0 uses a TM240 release, while the 3VA1110-5EE32-0JA0 uses a different release variant — verify the trip curve matches your application before swapping.
