Product details

That 200 A holds flat from 40 °C up to 50 °C, then derates stepwise to 176 A at 70 °C — so if your panel runs hot near a drive bank or transformer, you still get the full rating up to 50 °C without having to oversize the frame. At 240 V it interrupts 187 kA; at 415 V it's still 121 kA; at 440 V it drops to 36 kA; and at 690 V it holds 17 kA. For a 200 A frame those are high-interrupt ratings — it's built for installations with high available fault current, like a main feeder in an industrial switchboard or a large motor control center.

What the TM240 release and undervoltage release mean for your panel

It's a fixed-trip design — no interchangeable rating plugs, so the 200 A frame is what you get. That's typical for a distribution feeder where the load is known and stable, not for a motor branch that needs adjustable overloads. This breaker includes an undervoltage release (UVR) — part number 3VA9608-0BB24 for the integrated auxiliary trip. That's common on safety circuits or emergency-stop chains where you want the breaker to open on loss of control power. It also means you need to verify the coil voltage matches your control circuit before wiring. If you need remote status feedback or ground-fault protection, you'd step up to a different order code in the 3VA family.

Physical fit: dimensions and panel integration

That depth includes the body only — add clearance for the handle throw and cable bending radius. The width is the critical dimension for multi-breaker lineups; at 140 mm per pole set, a 4-pole unit occupies the same width as two 2-pole units ganged together.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA1220-5EF42-0CA0?

We source this breaker to order against an RFQ. Submit a request and we'll confirm current pricing and lead time at quote time.

Will 3VA1220-5EF42-0CA0 drop into a panel that was specified around 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0 without rewiring?

The 3VA1220-5EF42-0CA0 is a 200 A, 4-pole breaker; the 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0 is a lower-current variant. The physical footprint (width, height, depth) and mounting pattern are shared across the 3VA family within the same frame size, so it will mechanically fit. However, verify the busbar connection points and cable lug sizes match, and confirm the TM240 release's trip curve is appropriate for your load.

What is 3VA1220-5EF42-0CA0's listed depth?

The depth is 70 mm.

What is 3VA1220-5EF42-0CA0's listed width?

The width is 140 mm.
