Product details

The 3-pole frame breaks fault currents up to 121 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at 690 V, which covers the interrupting range for most 400 V distribution panels feeding downstream sub-distribution or fixed loads. The 70 mm depth and 76.2 mm width fit the standard SENTRON 3VA panel footprint — same cutout and bus-bar spacing as the rest of the 3VA family — so it drops into an existing SENTRON-based distribution board without re-drilling the mounting plate or re-spacing the bus bars.

At 55 °C it steps to 38.4 A, and at 70 °C it reaches 36 A, a 10 % reduction from the nameplate.

The trip alarm switch signals a fault trip separately from the aux contacts, which is useful for remote annunciation in a PLC input. The auxiliary trip module is order code 3VA9608-0BB11, a separate line item if the factory-fitted block ever needs replacement.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1140-4EF36-0BH0 and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a request; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

Will 3VA1140-4EF36-0BH0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1010-4ED36-0CC0 without rewiring?

The 3VA1140-4EF36-0BH0 shares the same 76.2 mm width and 70 mm depth as the 3VA1010-4ED36-0CC0, so it fits the same bus-bar spacing and mounting cutout. The difference is the 40 A rating versus 10 A — the line-side and load-side conductors must be sized for 40 A, not 10 A. If the existing wiring is rated for 40 A, no re-drilling is needed.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3VA1140-4EF36-0BH0?

Siemens SENTRON MCCBs carry UL, CSA, IEC, and CE certifications as standard. RoHS and REACH declarations are available through the Siemens Industry Online Support portal. The reference code per DIN EN 81346-2 is Q.
