Product details

Its breaking capacity reaches 187 kA at 240 VAC, dropping to 121 kA at 415 VAC and 75.6 kA at 440 VAC — figures that govern selectivity coordination with downstream breakers. Rated current holds at 40 A from 40 °C through 50 °C ambient, then derates gradually: 39 A at 55–60 °C, 38 A at 65 °C, and 37 A at 70 °C. Power dissipation at rated load is 13.3 W — a figure to include in enclosure thermal calculations when grouping several breakers.

Integration — Panel Fit and Wiring Notes

Dimensions are 130 mm high, 76.2 mm wide (3 inches), and 70 mm deep. The breaker accepts screw-clamp terminals for cable or busbar connection; the UVR coil terminals are separate and polarity-sensitive if DC-supplied. Mounting is screw-fixed to a mounting plate or DIN rail adapter (not included).

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1140-5EF32-0BC0 and get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a request for quote (RFQ) to confirm current availability and pricing — no stock or price figures are published here.

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1140-5EF32-0BC0 at different voltages?

Breaking capacity is 187 kA at 240 VAC, 121 kA at 415 VAC, 75.6 kA at 440 VAC, and 17 kA at both 500 VAC and 690 VAC. These ratings determine selectivity coordination with downstream breakers.

Does 3VA1140-5EF32-0BC0 include an undervoltage release?

Yes, it ships with an undervoltage release (UVR) factory-fitted, plus two auxiliary switches (HQ design) for status feedback.
