Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA1140-5ED16-0AA0 is a 1-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 40 A continuous current at 40 °C ambient, with a TM210 thermal-magnetic overcurrent release. It's built for line protection — meaning it sits on the feeder side of a distribution panel, protecting cables and buswork from overloads and short circuits. At 415 V AC the rating drops to 9 kA, which still covers most industrial secondary-side faults. The thermal derating curve is tight — it holds 40 A all the way to 50 °C, then drops only 1 A per 5 °C step up to 70 °C, so you don't lose headroom in a hot panel.

At 25.4 mm wide (1 inch) and 70 mm deep, this breaker snaps into a standard DIN-rail mount and takes up one pole position in a SENTRON distribution board. Insulation voltage is rated 500 V, so it can sit on a 480 V system with margin.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 3VA1140-5ED16-0AA0 and what is the lead time?

This MCCB is sourced to order through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time against an RFQ — we don't publish live stock figures, but the part is an active Siemens catalog item with normal supply.

What is the breaking capacity of the 3VA1140-5ED16-0AA0 at different voltages?

At 240 V AC it interrupts 121 kA; at 415 V AC the rating is 9 kA. The 121 kA figure at 240 V is high enough for most service-entrance or large-panel feeder applications where fault current is substantial.

How does the 3VA1140-5ED16-0AA0 compare to the 5SQ2170-2YA15?

The 5SQ2170-2YA15 is a different form factor — it's a miniature circuit breaker (MCB), not an MCCB. The 3VA1140-5ED16-0AA0 carries higher interrupting capacity (121 kA vs typical MCB ratings) and is physically larger (25.4 mm wide vs 18 mm for a 1-pole MCB). They are not drop-in interchangeable; the 3VA is for feeder protection where fault current is high, while the 5SQ series suits branch circuits in a sub-distribution board.
