Product details

Line protection MCCB with TM240 release

Above 50 °C the rating steps down in 0.8 A increments per 5 °C, reaching 36 A at 70 °C — useful to know when the breaker sits in a densely packed panel where internal heat rise is a factor. 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 — the 415 V figure is the one most often checked for 400 V-class distribution panels in IEC markets. The auxiliary trip module is order code 3VA9608-0BB11. No voltage trigger, no communication function, no ground fault monitoring — it is a straight thermal-magnetic breaker with UVR and aux contacts.

Panel fit and operating conditions

Dimensions are 130 mm height, 76.2 mm width, 70 mm depth — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint for DIN-rail or screw-mount panel integration. These numbers matter when the breaker is in a non-climate-controlled cabinet near a furnace line or outdoor substation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1140-3EF36-0BC0 at 415 V?

The breaking capacity is 52.5 kA at 415 V, which is the key figure for 400 V-class distribution panels in IEC markets.

Where can I buy 3VA1140-3EF36-0BC0 and how is it quoted?

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

What is the rated continuous current of this MCCB at elevated temperatures?

The rated continuous current Iu is 40 A at ambient temperatures up to 50 °C. Above 50 °C it derates in 0.8 A steps per 5 °C, reaching 36 A at 70 °C.
