Product details

It's a line-protection device, not a motor-protective breaker — no ground-fault monitoring, no N-conductor protection, no communication module, and no motor-drive option on the accessory slot. That means it lives in a distribution panel or sub-feed, not on a motor starter bucket. Breaking capacity is the headline: 121 kA at 240 V AC, 76 kA at 415 V, 53 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at 500 V. The 500 V figure drops to 11.9 kA, so if you're on a 480 V corner-grounded delta or a 500 V DC system (max rated operational voltage Ue with DC is 500 V), verify the SCCR of the downstream panel matches. The TM220 release is fixed at 20 A (Ir max. adjustable to 20 A). Rated insulation voltage Ui is 690 V.

Panel fit — DIN rail or direct mount

Front face IP40 rated. Power loss is 12 W maximum at full load.

Temperature derating — flat to 55 °C, then a 1 A step

At 60 °C it derates to 19 A, and stays at 19 A through 70 °C. That's a clean, predictable curve — no surprise drop at 50 °C.

Frequently asked questions

What is 3VM1120-4EE42-0AA0's listed depth (70 mm) on this component line?

Depth is 70 mm (2.8 in). That's the body depth excluding the handle throw and any external accessories.

What is 3VM1120-4EE42-0AA0's listed width (101.6 mm) on this component line?

Width is 101.6 mm (4 in). That's the standard 4-pole MCCB footprint for this class.
