Product details

The Siemens 3VA1220-5EF42-0AH0 is a SENTRON molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 200 A continuous current at 40 °C, holding that full rating through 50 °C before the thermal curve starts to bite — at 55 °C it's 194 A, at 70 °C it's 176 A. That flat-top derating profile means you don't lose headroom in a warm panel until the ambient actually pushes past 50 °C. The 4-pole design and TM240 thermal-magnetic release make this a line-protection breaker, not a motor-protection device — the TM240 release is sized for cable and busbar protection, not for an overload relay curve. If your safety circuit or PLC needs a separate signal that the breaker tripped on fault (not just that it's open), that alarm contact is the one to wire. No washdown rating here; this lives inside the enclosure.

The breaker footprint is 140 mm wide by 158 mm tall by 70 mm deep — that's a 4-pole MCCB in the SENTRON 3VA frame size. Verify the busbar system (pin or fork type) matches the line-side connection pattern for your distribution board.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1220-5EF42-0AH0 and get a price?

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

What are the key interrupting ratings for 3VA1220-5EF42-0AH0?

187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 36 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V — that covers most industrial low-voltage distribution fault levels.

What is the rated continuous current and how does it derate with temperature?

200 A from 40 °C through 50 °C, then 194 A at 55 °C, 188 A at 60 °C, 182 A at 65 °C, and 176 A at 70 °C. The flat rating through 50 °C gives good headroom in a typical panel ambient.
