Product details

The 4-pole construction makes it the right choice for three-phase plus neutral applications where you need coordinated overcurrent and short-circuit protection on all four paths. Interrupting capacity is the headline here: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 11.9 kA at 690 V.

Above that it steps down: 488 A at 55 °C, 476 A at 60 °C, 464 A at 65 °C, and 452 A at 70 °C. If your panel ambient runs 55 °C — common in sealed enclosures near ovens or in hot climates — you lose 12 A, not a showstopper for most loads. Dimensions: 184 mm wide, 248 mm tall, 110 mm deep.

Panel wireman's fit check — 184 mm width, 4-pole, no comms

If your spec calls for remote tripping or power monitoring, you'll need the accessory slot populated separately. The trip indicator is absent, so visual confirmation of a trip requires checking the handle position or adding an auxiliary contact. Ground-fault monitoring is not built in. For GF protection on the feeder, you'd add an external ground-fault relay and shunt trip, or step up to the 3VA with electronic release. This version is for straightforward line protection where the downstream devices handle ground-fault coordination.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 3VA1450-5EF42-0AA0 and how is it quoted?

We source this part 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 this breaker?

187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 11.9 kA at 690 V. The 187 kA at 240 V is the standout spec for high-fault industrial services.

What is the physical size of the 3VA1450-5EF42-0AA0?

184 mm wide, 248 mm tall, 110 mm deep. The 184 mm width for a 4-pole frame is standard; verify your backpanel stud spacing before mounting.

Does this breaker include ground-fault protection?

No, this version is without ground-fault monitoring. For GF protection, add an external relay and shunt trip, or use a 3VA with electronic release.
