Product details

Ratings that matter for the panel

The interrupting capacity steps down with voltage: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. The adjustable short-time delay range is 3 s minimum to 30 s maximum, giving selectivity flexibility downstream. Power loss is 1.6 W maximum — negligible for thermal budgeting inside a panel.

Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 181 mm high, and 86 mm deep — a standard SENTRON 3VA footprint that drops into existing 3VA panel layouts without re-drilling. The design includes a communication function, so it can report status and trip events to a higher-level control system, and the phase failure detection protects motors from single-phasing damage.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting capacity of this MCCB at 415 V?

The interrupting capacity at 415 V is 121 kA.

Where can I buy the 3VA2140-5MQ36-0AA0?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at the time of quote.

Does this breaker include phase failure protection?

Yes, phase failure detection is built into the design, which protects three-phase motors from single-phasing.
