Product details

Above that, derate linearly: 495 A at 55 °C, 490 A at 60 °C, 485 A at 65 °C, and 480 A at 70 °C (–). For a panel with internal rise, the 70 °C figure is the floor — plan your gland-plate fill and ventilation to keep the breaker compartment below 50 °C if you want the full 500 A.

Rated ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity (Icu) at 415 V is 121 kA, matching the 440 V figure. At 240 V it reaches 187 kA; at 500 V it drops to 75.6 kA; at 690 V it is 9 kA. The 415 V rating gives comfortable selectivity headroom downstream of a 100 kA transformer secondary — no need to oversize the upstream breaker for common industrial service voltages.

Motor protection and auxiliary configuration

Designed for motor protection with phase failure detection and an undervoltage release (UVR) fitted as standard. The auxiliary switch block carries two auxiliary switches, one trip alarm switch, and one electrical alarm switch. That covers remote status indication and a separate alarm signal for trip events — no need to add an external monitoring relay for basic motor circuit feedback.

Panel footprint and mounting

Dimensions: 248 mm height, 138 mm width, 110 mm depth (–). The 138 mm width fits a standard 3-pole MCCB cutout. Depth of 110 mm leaves room behind the gland plate for the undervoltage release wiring and the auxiliary switch harness — no panel-depth surprises on a 200 mm deep enclosure.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2450-5MN32-0CL0?

Submit an RFQ through the storefront. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time; this part is sourced to order through independent distribution.

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2450-5MN32-0CL0 at 415 V?

121 kA at 415 V, matching the 440 V rating. At 240 V it is 187 kA; at 500 V it is 75.6 kA; at 690 V it is 9 kA.

Will 3VA2450-5MN32-0CL0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0 without rewiring?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs, but the 3VA2450-5MN32-0CL0 is a 500 A frame; the 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0 is a lower-current variant. Panel cutout dimensions are the same family footprint, but verify busbar ampacity and lug size — the 500 A rating may require larger conductors or different line/load lugs.
