Product details

Siemens 3VA1220-6MH32-0AE0 — 200 A MCCB for motor and feeder protection

This is the starter protection version (product version field), so it's set up for motor branch circuit protection — the TM120M release is a thermal-magnetic type tuned for motor starting inrush without nuisance tripping. The 75 W operating power at AC-3 duty at 400 V confirms it's sized for motor loads in that power class.

The 220 kA at 240 V is the headline number, but the real-world rating for most industrial 400 V panels is 154 kA at 415 V. That's still very high — well above what a typical 100 kA SCCR panel needs. Compared to a smaller-frame SENTRON like the 3VA1010-2ED32-0JA0 (which tops out at lower current and breaking capacity), this 3VA1220 frame handles the 200 A continuous rating and the 220 kA interrupt rating — it's a physically larger unit at 105 mm wide, 158 mm tall, and 70 mm deep. The 3VA1010 won't drop into the same panel cutout without checking the mounting footprint.

Panel integration — dimensions and mounting

The continuous current rating holds at 200 A up to 50 °C, then derates to 192 A at 55 °C, 188 A at 60 °C, 184 A at 65 °C, and 180 A at 70 °C.

Frequently asked questions

Will 3VA1220-6MH32-0AE0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1010-2ED32-0JA0?

No — the 3VA1220 is a larger frame. It measures 105 mm wide, 158 mm tall, and 70 mm deep, while the 3VA1010 frame is physically smaller. The mounting footprint and cutout dimensions differ; you'd need to verify the panel layout before swapping.

What does the TM120M release mean on this MCCB?

TM120M is a thermal-magnetic overcurrent release. The thermal element handles overload protection (slow response to sustained overcurrent), and the magnetic element handles short-circuit protection (instantaneous trip on high fault current). The '120' refers to the release rating in amps, and 'M' indicates it's a magnetic-only or thermal-magnetic type suitable for motor starting.

What auxiliary contacts come with 3VA1220-6MH32-0AE0?

It comes with 4 HQ auxiliary switches built in. These are high-quality (HQ) form-C contacts for status feedback — typically used to signal the breaker's open/closed/tripped state to a PLC or indicator panel. No undervoltage release or shunt trip is included.
