Product details

Its TM110M thermal-magnetic overcurrent release gives it a fixed trip curve tuned for motor-starting inrush without nuisance trips, while the magnetic element clears short circuits fast. The 3-pole form factor fits standard MCCB panel mounting.

At 415 V the rating drops to 121 kA, at 440 V to 75.6 kA, and at 500 V and 690 V it holds at 7.5 kA. For an engineer sizing panel SCCR, the lowest voltage you're working at governs coordination: if your supply transformer can deliver 100 kA at 415 V, this breaker has headroom. The steep drop above 440 V reflects the physical limits of air as an arc-quenching medium at higher voltages.

Depth of 70 mm means it will clear typical backpanel wiring gutters without forcing a deeper enclosure.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA1181-5MG36-0AA0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. The part is sourced to order through independent distribution, and both pricing and stock levels are confirmed at quote time.

Will 3VA1181-5MG36-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 6ES7514-2DN03-0AB0 without rewiring?

No — the 6ES7514-2DN03-0AB0 is a Siemens S7-1500 CPU module, a completely different product class (PLC controller). The 3VA1181-5MG36-0AA0 is a molded case circuit breaker for power distribution; they serve different functions and cannot be swapped.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA1181-5MG36-0AA0?

Siemens SENTRON MCCBs typically carry UL 489, IEC 60947-2, and CSA certifications, along with RoHS and REACH declarations. Specific documentation for this order code is available on request with the RFQ.
