Product details

The interrupting ratings across common voltage levels are substantial: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V — meaning it can safely clear high-fault currents on industrial distribution without cascading upstream. It is a straightforward, high-interrupting-capacity main or feeder breaker for panels where remote shunt-trip capability is needed and auxiliary signaling is handled externally.

Above that, derating is gradual: 38.4 A at 55 °C, 37.6 A at 60 °C, 36.8 A at 65 °C, and 36 A at 70 °C. For a panel builder sizing a 40 A feeder in a warm enclosure, the margin at 50 °C is comfortable — no upsize needed. The breaker measures 76.2 mm wide, 130 mm high, and 70 mm deep, with IP40 protection on the front. The 70 mm depth is compact enough for standard 200 mm deep enclosures; the 76.2 mm width (roughly 3 inches) fits a 3-pole MCCB footprint common across the SENTRON 3VA platform. The part carries a latching endurance of 15,000 cycles, which governs mechanical life under normal switching — not a daily-switch duty class, but adequate for infrequent isolation and fault clearing.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1140-5EF36-0JA0 and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced through independent industrial distribution and quoted to order against an RFQ. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or price is published here.

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1140-5EF36-0JA0 at 415 V?

The interrupting rating is 121 kA at 415 V, which covers high-fault-current industrial distribution without requiring upstream current-limiting fuses.

Does 3VA1140-5EF36-0JA0 include a shunt trip or undervoltage release?

It includes a shunt trip (STL) design for remote voltage-triggered tripping, but no undervoltage release is fitted. Auxiliary contacts are also absent.

What is the ambient temperature derating for this MCCB?

The breaker carries 40 A from 40 °C to 50 °C, then derates to 38.4 A at 55 °C, 37.6 A at 60 °C, 36.8 A at 65 °C, and 36 A at 70 °C. No derating is needed below 50 °C.
