Product details

Its TM240 thermal-magnetic trip unit provides fixed thermal and magnetic protection for line-feeder or downstream panelboard applications. The 75.6 kA interrupting rating at 240 V drops to 52.5 kA at 415 V and 32 kA at 440 V — the 415 V figure is the one that governs most European 400 V distribution panels, and at 690 V it still holds 10.5 kA, which covers most motor-circuit fault scenarios upstream of a VFD. Thermal derating is flat from 40 °C to 50 °C (40 A), then drops to 38.4 A at 55 °C and 36 A at 70 °C. The auxiliary contact version ships with two HP auxiliary switches, which is enough for a remote trip-indication and a status feedback to a PLC without adding an external aux block.

The adjustable thermal time delay tr max. is 1 second — this is the long-time delay band at maximum setting, used to coordinate with downstream branch breakers. No communication function, no phase-failure detection, no voltage trigger — this is a pure overcurrent protector, not a smart breaker.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1140-3EF36-0AB0 and get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm commercial offer.

What are the key ratings for 3VA1140-3EF36-0AB0?

Rated continuous current Iu is 40 A, with a 3-pole configuration and a TM240 thermal-magnetic trip unit. Breaking capacity is 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 10.5 kA at 690 V (-).

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA1140-3EF36-0AB0?

As a Siemens SENTRON MCCB, standard documentation includes a CE declaration of conformity, UL/CSA recognition per the 3VA series listing, and RoHS/REACH compliance declarations available through Siemens Industry Online Support.

Will 3VA1140-3EF36-0AB0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1010-2ED32-0JA0 without rewiring?

The 3VA1140-3EF36-0AB0 is a higher-current variant (40 A vs the 3VA1010 family's typical 10-16 A range) and uses a TM240 trip unit versus the 3VA1010's different trip curve. The 76.2 mm width matches the standard 3-pole MCCB footprint, but verify bus-bar ampacity and the trip-unit coordination study before substitution — the interrupting ratings and thermal settings differ.
