Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA1220-5EF42-0AA0 is a 4-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated 200 A continuous at 40 °C, with a TM240 thermal-magnetic trip unit. It's a line-protection design — meaning it's built for feeder and distribution circuits, not motor-starting duty — and carries a 187 kA interrupting rating at 240 V AC, which drops to 121 kA at 415 V and 75.6 kA at 440 V.

At 55 °C it's 194 A, at 60 °C it's 188 A, and at 70 °C it's 176 A. That's a clean thermal curve; you can size the breaker at 200 A and still have margin in a typical 50 °C panel interior. Breaking capacity spans the voltage range: 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. For a 480 V distribution panel, the 75.6 kA at 440 V is the closest published figure — that's well above typical 25–65 kA SCCR requirements for commercial gear. Max power loss is 42 W, which matters for thermal budgeting in a densely packed lineup.

It's a panel-mount MCCB — no DIN-rail clip, so it bolts into a cutout or mounts on a backplate.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1220-5EF42-0AA0?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1220-5EF42-0AA0 at 480 V?

The published breaking capacities are 75.6 kA at 440 V and 30 kA at 500 V. For 480 V, the 440 V figure is the closest published rating — well above typical 25–65 kA SCCR requirements.

What does the TM240 release designation mean?

TM240 is a thermal-magnetic overcurrent release. The '240' indicates the frame size or trip-unit rating; thermal element handles overloads, magnetic element handles short circuits. It's a fixed-trip, non-electronic release — no adjustable curves.
