Product details

MCCB for line protection

At 690 V it still clears 17 kA, which keeps it viable in 690 V line-side applications with moderate fault levels. The 200 A rating holds flat from 40 °C to 50 °C ambient; derating starts at 55 °C (194 A) and drops to 176 A at 70 °C. For a panel running warm, that means no loss of headroom until the enclosure ambient crosses 50 °C.

Physical fit and auxiliaries

Footprint is 140 mm wide × 158 mm tall × 70 mm deep. The 140 mm width is standard for a 4-pole 200 A frame in the 3VA platform — it occupies the same panel cutout as other 3VA breakers in this frame class, so a panel laid out for a 3VA1010-2ED42-0AE0 will accept this unit without rewiring. Four high-quality auxiliary switches (HQ) are built in. No communication module, no voltage trip, no phase-failure detection — this is a clean breaker with just the aux contacts for status feedback.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1220-5EF42-0AE0?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm commitment.

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1220-5EF42-0AE0 at different voltages?

187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 36 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. The 415 V rating is the most relevant for standard three-phase distribution panels.

Will 3VA1220-5EF42-0AE0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA1010-2ED42-0AE0?

Yes, both share the same 140 mm width, 158 mm height, and 70 mm depth within the 3VA frame class — no rewiring needed for the physical fit. Verify the current rating and release type match your protection coordination.

What compliance documentation is available for 3VA1220-5EF42-0AE0?

As a current-production Siemens SENTRON MCCB, it carries CE marking and is designed to meet IEC/EN 60947-2. RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Siemens' standard documentation portal for the 3VA series.
