Product details

MCCB for line protection — 80 A, 4-pole, TM220 release

The Siemens 3VA1180-6GE42-0AA0 is a SENTRON molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated 80 A continuous, with a 4-pole configuration and a TM220 thermal-magnetic overcurrent release. Designed for line protection, it carries a breaking capacity of 220 kA at 240 V AC, 154 kA at 415 V, and 121 kA at 440 V — figures that govern its ability to safely interrupt fault currents without upstream cascade failure per IEC 60947-2. The TM220 release provides fixed thermal and magnetic trip settings, suitable for feeder and distribution applications where adjustable trip units are not required.

Thermal derating and panel integration

At 40 °C the breaker carries its full 80 A rating; derating begins at 55 °C (78 A) and reaches 74 A at 70 °C, per the evidence. The 70 mm depth and 101.6 mm width fit standard DIN-rail or panel-mount enclosures — verify gland-plate clearance for the 130 mm height when installing in a shallow enclosure. Front IP40 protection suits indoor panel environments; no washdown rating is claimed.
