Product details

Interrupting capacity and selectivity

The 3VA1180-5EF36-0AB0: The interrupting capacity is 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 500 V and 690 V. That 187 kA at 240 V means it can clear a bolted fault on a 480Y/277 V panel secondary without upstream fuses needing to open — useful for high-available-fault-current services where you want to keep selectivity with the main breaker.

Thermal derating and panel integration

Rated 80 A from 40 °C through 50 °C, then derates to 78 A at 55 °C, 77 A at 60 °C, 75 A at 65 °C, and 74 A at 70 °C. The 70 mm depth and 76.2 mm width fit standard SENTRON 3VA panel cutouts; the 130 mm height leaves room for auxiliary switch wiring above the breaker. Maximum power loss is 19.2 W — account for that in enclosed panel heat calculations.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings of 3VA1180-5EF36-0AB0?

80 A continuous at 40 °C, 3-pole, TM240 thermal-magnetic release, interrupting capacity 187 kA at 240 V AC, rated insulation voltage 800 V.

Where can I buy 3VA1180-5EF36-0AB0?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

Will 3VA1180-5EF36-0AB0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1110-5ED36-0AA0?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs with the same 70 mm depth and 76.2 mm width, so the physical footprint is identical. The 3VA1180-5EF36-0AB0 carries a higher interrupting capacity (187 kA vs lower on the 3VA1110) and uses a TM240 release — verify the trip curve and SCCR coordination with your existing panel design before substitution.
