Product details

The 75.6 kA breaking capacity at 240 V drops to 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at 500/690 V — the interrupting capability shrinks fast above 415 V, so verify the available fault current at your system voltage before committing the BOM line.

Rated 40 A all the way up to 50 °C ambient; above that it starts to taper — 39 A at 55 °C, 38 A at 65 °C, 37 A at 70 °C.

No official successor exists because none is needed.

The breaking capacity at your system voltage is the real gate: at 415 V it's 52.5 kA, which covers most industrial secondary-distribution panels, but at 690 V it's only 11.9 kA. If your available fault current exceeds that, this breaker won't clear the fault safely.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1140-3GE42-0AA0?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution; availability and current pricing confirmed at quote time.

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB at 415 V?

52.5 kA at 415 V, which covers most industrial secondary-distribution panels.

What does the TM220 release mean?

TM220 means the thermal element is fixed at 40 A (no adjustment), and the magnetic short-circuit pickup is fixed at 220 A — a straight line-protection device, not motor-protection or adjustable.

Will 3VA1140-3GE42-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 5SQ2670-2YA63?

The 3VA series has a different footprint and terminal layout than the 5SQ series — physical fit and wiring need verification against the panel's cutout and busbar pattern.
