Product details

Its 4-pole design handles three-phase plus neutral switching, common in North American and IEC distribution panels where full isolation is required. Interrupting capacity is the headline here: 220 kA at 240 V AC, 154 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, 30 kA at 500 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. That SCCR ladder means it can sit upstream of a transformer or in a high-fault industrial service entrance without cascading failure — the breaker clears before the fault energy damages downstream gear. Power loss maxes at 42 W — relevant for enclosed panel thermal calculations, especially when grouping multiple breakers.

Thermal derating and ambient

Above that it derates: 194 A at 55 °C, 188 A at 60 °C, 182 A at 65 °C, 176 A at 70 °C.

Auxiliary switching and options

The basic switch order code is 3VA12206EF420AA0 if you need to reference the switching mechanism separately.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1220-6EF42-0AC0 and how do I get a price?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a request for quote; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA1220-6EF42-0AC0 at 240 V?

220 kA at 240 V AC — sufficient for high-fault service-entrance or transformer-secondary applications where available fault current exceeds typical 65 kA or 100 kA MCCB ratings.

What does the TM240 release designation mean?

TM240 is a thermal-magnetic overcurrent release rated 200 A continuous at 40 °C. The '240' refers to the release frame size; actual trip settings are fixed within the breaker, not adjustable.

Will 3VA1220-6EF42-0AC0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0 without rewiring?

Both are 4-pole SENTRON 3VA breakers with the same 70 mm depth and 158 mm height, so the mounting footprint and bus-bar centers match. Width differs — 140 mm on this 200 A frame versus the narrower 3VA1110 frame — so check bus-bar span and adjacent device spacing before swapping.
