Product details

Line protection MCCB for panel builders

The TM210 thermal-magnetic release provides adjustable short-circuit response up to 400 A (li max.), giving the panel builder flexibility to coordinate with downstream loads without swapping the breaker body. Breaking capacity is specified at multiple system voltages: 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. For a 400 V class panel, the 52.5 kA figure at 415 V gives headroom above typical 25–36 kA SCCR requirements, making this breaker a strong candidate for high-fault utility feeds or transformer secondaries. Temperature derating is published per degree: full 40 A up to 50 °C, then 39 A at 55 °C, 39 A at 60 °C, 38 A at 65 °C, and 37 A at 70 °C. If the breaker is mounted in a non-ventilated enclosure near other heat sources, use the 55 °C or 60 °C row for the effective ampacity — the 40 A nameplate applies only when ambient stays at or below 50 °C.

Dimensions are 101.6 mm wide, 130 mm high, and 70 mm deep — a 4-pole MCCB that fits a standard 100 mm wide DIN-rail cutout or panel-mount footprint. Power loss is 10.8 W maximum at rated load. In a densely packed enclosure, that heat must be factored into the thermal budget — especially since the breaker itself derates above 50 °C. The optional motor drive (Product Extension / Optional / Motor Drive: Yes) allows remote motorized operation for automated disconnection schemes.

Coordination and release detail

That adjustability lets the engineer set short-circuit pickup above the inrush of a motor or transformer load while still clearing low-level faults. The breaker carries an insulation voltage rating of 800 V (Ui) and a maximum DC operational voltage of 600 V, so it can serve in DC distribution sub-panels as well — though the DC breaking capacity must be verified against the 3VA device manual for the specific DC network configuration. No ground-fault monitoring version is included (Ground-Fault Monitoring Version: Without), and no N-conductor protection is built in (design of the N-conductor protection: Without). For applications requiring GFCI or a switched neutral, an external accessory or a different 3VA variant is needed.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1140-3ED46-0AA0 at 415 V?

52.5 kA at 415 V. For reference, it also carries 75.6 kA at 240 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V.

Where can I buy 3VA1140-3ED46-0AA0 and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced through independent distribution and quoted to order against an RFQ. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or price is published here.

What is the continuous current rating and how does temperature affect it?

The continuous current Iu is 40 A. Full rating holds up to 50 °C; above that it derates to 39 A at 55 °C, 39 A at 60 °C, 38 A at 65 °C, and 37 A at 70 °C.

Does 3VA1140-3ED46-0AA0 include ground-fault or neutral protection?

No. This variant is supplied without ground-fault monitoring and without N-conductor protection. For those functions, an accessory or a different 3VA order code is required.
