Product details

What this 80 A MCCB does on the line

It's a line-protection device — meaning it sits between the transformer and the distribution bus, not on a motor branch. The TM240 thermal-magnetic release handles overloads and short-circuits up to the breaker's interrupting rating, which hits 220 kA at 240 V and 154 kA at 415 V. That kind of headroom means it can be placed close to a large transformer or high-fault service entrance without worrying about cascading failure upstream. Past that, the current starts to step down: 76.8 A at 55 °C, 75.2 A at 60 °C, 73.6 A at 65 °C, and 72 A at 70 °C.

An undervoltage release (UVR) is built in, and the auxiliary contact configuration comes as 2 auxiliary switches plus a separate trip alarm switch, designated HQ. That gives you two independent status signals and a dedicated alarm contact that changes state only when the breaker trips on a fault, not on manual switching.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA1180-6EF36-0CH0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. The part is sourced to order via independent distribution; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What are the key breaking capacity ratings for this MCCB?

Rated breaking capacity is 220 kA at 240 V, 154 kA at 415 V, 121 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. These are the maximum fault currents it can safely interrupt at those voltages.

What auxiliary contacts does this breaker come with?

It has 2 auxiliary switches plus 1 trip alarm switch, designated HQ. The trip alarm contact is separate from the auxiliary switches and only changes state on a fault trip.

What is the ambient temperature derating for this 80 A breaker?

It carries full 80 A from 40 °C to 50 °C. Above that: 76.8 A at 55 °C, 75.2 A at 60 °C, 73.6 A at 65 °C, and 72 A at 70 °C. No derating needed below 50 °C.
