The Siemens SENTRON 3VA1220-5EE42-0AA0 is a 4-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 200 A continuous current at 40 °C, with a TM220 thermal-magnetic release designed for line protection — meaning it handles overload and short-circuit faults in distribution panels, not motor-starting duty. Its interrupting capacity is what sets it apart: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, 30 kA at 500 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. The continuous current holds flat at 200 A from 40 °C through 50 °C, then derates to 194 A at 55 °C, 188 A at 60 °C, 182 A at 65 °C, and 176 A at 70 °C. Maximum power loss is 42 W, which matters for thermal management inside a sealed enclosure.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy 3VA1220-5EE42-0AA0 and get a price?
This part is sourced through independent distribution and quoted to order against an RFQ. Submit a request for current availability and pricing — confirmed at quote time.
What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA1220-5EE42-0AA0 at 415 V?
At 415 V the interrupting rating is 121 kA. At 240 V it reaches 187 kA, and at 690 V it is 17 kA.
What type of overcurrent release does 3VA1220-5EE42-0AA0 use?
It uses a TM220 thermal-magnetic release, designed for line protection — not suitable for motor-starting duty where a magnetic-only or electronic release would be required.
