Product details

The interrupting capacity tells you what it can safely clear: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. That kind of muscle means it'll handle a hard fault on a big motor feeder or a main panel without welding its contacts shut. The 80 A rating holds steady from 40 °C up through 50 °C, then starts a gentle taper: 78 A at 55 °C, 77 A at 60 °C, 75 A at 65 °C, and 74 A at 70 °C. Power loss maxes out at 19.2 W, so it's not a heat bomb in the enclosure.

That's a four-inch width on the panel face, so it takes up a standard MCCB slot. It's designed for screw-mounting on a backplate or DIN rail adapter; no communication module inside, so it's a straight power path. The N-conductor protection is rated at 100%, meaning the neutral pole is fully rated, not a reduced cross-section. There's no ground-fault monitoring built in — if you need that, you'll add an external module. The design accepts an optional motor drive (Product Extension / Optional / Motor Drive: Yes), so you can motorize it for remote tripping or reclosing if the application calls for it. That covers most plant-floor conditions — unheated warehouses in winter, hot mezzanines in summer.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1180-5GF42-0AA0 and how do I get a price?

We source this breaker through independent distribution and quote it to order against an RFQ. Submit a request and we'll confirm availability and current pricing at quote time.

What is 3VA1180-5GF42-0AA0's interrupting capacity at different voltages?

The interrupting capacity is 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. That covers most industrial distribution voltages.

Will 3VA1180-5GF42-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1110-5ED32-0AA0 without rewiring?

Both are 4-pole SENTRON MCCBs in the same physical frame family, so the mounting footprint and bus connections are the same. The 3VA1180-5GF42-0AA0 carries a higher interrupting capacity (187 kA vs lower ratings on the 3VA1110), so it's a functional upgrade for the same panel cutout — no rewiring needed, but verify the upstream fault current matches the higher rating.
