Product details

What this MCCB covers

Rated continuous current Iu is 80 A, and it holds that rating from 40 °C through 50 °C ambient; above 55 °C it begins a gentle derating curve down to 72 A at 70 °C. The interrupting capacity at 240 V is 187 kA, at 415 V it's 121 kA, at 440 V it's 75.6 kA, and at 690 V it's 17 kA — so this breaker handles high available fault current on the low-voltage side of a distribution transformer without needing a current-limiting fuse upstream.

Release and auxiliary fit

The overcurrent release is a TM240 — a thermal-magnetic type, fixed-trip, no electronic adjustment. That means the thermal pickup and magnetic short-circuit threshold are factory-set; if your load profile needs field-adjustable long-time or short-time pickup, you'd step up to an electronic release in the same 3VA frame. The integrated auxiliary trip order code is 3VA9608-0BB24.

Dimensions are 130 mm height, 76.2 mm width, 70 mm depth — a 3-pole MCCB that fits standard SENTRON 3VA mounting feet and busbar systems. Mechanical endurance is 15,000 operations.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1180-5EF36-0CH0 and how is it quoted?

This MCCB is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent industrial-automation distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock or lead-time figures are published here.

What is the closest functional second-source to 3VA1180-5EF36-0CH0?

Within the same SENTRON 3VA family, the 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0 is a 3-pole MCCB with a lower frame rating; it shares the same mounting footprint and accessory platform but has a different continuous current and interrupting capacity. Panel rewire is not required if the feeder load and fault current are within the lower rating.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for this MCCB?

As a SENTRON 3VA series MCCB, it carries UL, CSA, CE, and IEC certifications per standard Siemens documentation. RoHS and REACH declarations are available through Siemens Industry Online Support. No specific certificate numbers are listed in this record.
