It breaks up to 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V — so it handles fault-clearing across common industrial voltage levels without cascading upstream. The operating temperature range of -25 °C to 70 °C means it takes the radiant heat near a rolling mill without derating until you push past 55 °C, where the current rating steps down from 80 A to 78 A at 55 °C, 77 A at 60 °C, 75 A at 65 °C, and 74 A at 70 °C.
The 3VA1180-3EE36-0AA0 measures 76.2 mm wide, 130 mm tall, and 70 mm deep — a compact 3-pole footprint that fits standard MCCB panel cutouts. It is a line-protection device with no undervoltage release, no trip indicator, no communication function, and no ground-fault monitoring, so it is a straightforward thermal-magnetic breaker for feeder or branch-circuit protection. The TM220 release gives a fixed thermal and magnetic trip curve suited for cable and distribution protection rather than motor-starting duty.
