The 3VA1180-5ED22-0AA0: Breaking capacity is the headline here: 187 kA at 240 V AC and 121 kA at 415 V AC. That puts it in the high-interrupting class for a 2-pole MCCB — it clears faults upstream of a main breaker or transformer secondary without cascading, which matters when the available fault current at the panel is known to be high. The TM210 overcurrent release is a fixed thermal-magnetic type — no interchangeable trip units, no ground-fault module, no communication function. It is a straight line-protection device: thermal element handles overloads, magnetic element handles short-circuits. The 2-pole configuration and 500 V rated insulation voltage suit it for single-phase or two-leg three-phase branch circuits up to 415 V AC operating voltage.
Panel fit and mounting
At 70 mm deep, 50.8 mm wide, and 130 mm tall, this MCCB fits a standard 2-pole DIN-rail footprint. The IP40 front protection means it is sealed against tools and fingers on the face but not against washdown — mount it inside a rated enclosure if the environment is wet or dusty. Power loss is 12.8 W maximum at rated load — negligible for thermal budgeting inside a steel enclosure, but worth noting if the panel is densely packed and relies on natural convection.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The lifecycle stage is current. Siemens manufactures and supports this order code as an active catalog item.
