The interrupting capacity hits 121 kA at 240 V and still delivers 75.6 kA at 415 V — enough to handle high-fault utility feeds without cascading upstream. At 690 V it still breaks 11.9 kA, so it holds up on 480Y/277 V or 600 V industrial services. Thermal derating starts at 55 °C: 194 A at 55 °C, 188 A at 60 °C, 182 A at 65 °C, 176 A at 70 °C. This is a line-protection breaker — no ground-fault module, no communication function. The auxiliary release is factory-fitted, so you don't need to open the cover to add one in the field. Dimensions: 140 mm wide, 158 mm tall, 70 mm deep. Four-pole frame takes up about 5.5 inches of DIN-rail width — plan the gland plate and wireway fill before you lay out the panel.

Frequently asked questions
What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA1220-4GF42-0JH0 at different voltages?
121 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, 17 kA at 500 V, and 11.9 kA at 690 V. These ratings cover most industrial distribution voltages from 208Y/120 V through 600 V.
What is the thermal derating curve for this 200 A MCCB?
Full 200 A up to 50 °C. At 55 °C it derates to 194 A, at 60 °C to 188 A, at 65 °C to 182 A, and at 70 °C to 176 A. If your panel ambient runs above 50 °C, size the load side for the derated value.
Where can I buy 3VA1220-4GF42-0JH0 and how is it quoted?
This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or price is published here.
What auxiliary switches and releases come with this breaker?
It includes two auxiliary switches plus one trip alarm switch (HQ), and a factory-fitted shunt trip (STL) for remote opening. No undervoltage release is installed.
