Product details

It holds 40 A continuous at 40 °C through 50 °C without derating, then steps down to 39 A at 55 °C and 60 °C, 38 A at 65 °C, and 37 A at 70 °C — so the 40 A frame stays usable across a typical 50 °C panel ambient without bumping frame size. Interrupting capacity is the headline: 187 kA at 240 VAC, 121 kA at 415 VAC, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at both 500 V and 690 V.

Integration and auxiliary fit

No ground-fault monitoring module is fitted; this is a straight line-protection MCCB. No communication function — it's a hard-wired breaker, not a metering or IoT device. Dimensions: 70 mm deep, 76.2 mm wide, 130 mm tall (–) — standard 3-pole MCCB footprint for DIN-rail or panel-mount backplate integration.

Environmental and compliance range

The storage minimum matters for cold warehouse or unheated site storage before commissioning — the breaker can sit at -40 °C without damage, though it must be at operating temperature before being loaded.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA1140-5EF36-0DH0?

Submit an RFQ against this order code. Pricing and availability are confirmed at quote time through independent distribution channels.

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA1140-5EF36-0DH0 at 240 V?

187 kA at 240 VAC, which qualifies it for high-fault service-entrance applications. At 415 V it is 121 kA, at 440 V it is 75.6 kA, and at 500 V and 690 V it holds 17 kA (–).

What is the rated current of 3VA1140-5EF36-0DH0 and how does it derate with temperature?

Rated 40 A continuous from 40 °C to 50 °C (–). It derates to 39 A at 55 °C and 60 °C (–), 38 A at 65 °C, and 37 A at 70 °C. No derating needed up to 50 °C ambient.
