Product details

What the ratings mean for fit

The 3VM1120-5EE46-0AA2: The headline number is Icu=55kA at 415 V AC — that is the ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity, the maximum fault current the breaker can safely interrupt once. For a 160 A frame, 55 kA at 415 V puts it in the M (medium) breaking capacity class, which covers most industrial distribution panels fed from a transformer of 1000 kVA or less. If your available fault current at the panel exceeds 55 kA, you step up to the H (high) or L (very high) class in the same frame. The TM220 thermal-magnetic trip unit gives you adjustable overload protection (Ir) from 14 A to 20 A, and fixed instantaneous short-circuit protection (Ii) at 16 times In — that is 320 A magnetic pickup. For a 20 A breaker protecting a feeder or a downstream sub-panel, the 16x In setting means it will ride through motor inrush without nuisance tripping, but verify coordination with the upstream device. The N conductor is unprotected — this is a 3-pole breaker with a solid neutral bar, common for 3-phase 4-wire systems where the neutral is bonded at the source and not switched.

Panel integration & wiring

This is a 4-pole breaker in a 160 A IEC frame. It mounts on a DIN rail or can be screw-fixed to a backplate. The terminal connection is listed as unprotected for the N conductor — that means the neutral lug is a solid bar, not a switched pole, so it stays connected when the breaker is off. For a panel OEM, this simplifies wiring in a 3-phase + N distribution board: land the neutral once and leave it. The TM220 trip unit is field-adjustable for Ir via a dial on the front face; no need to open the cover or swap rating plugs. The 55 kA interrupting rating at 415 V means this breaker can be used as the main incoming device in a panel with a transformer up to roughly 1000 kVA, assuming the fault current at the panel terminals is within that limit.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VM1120-5EE46-0AA2?

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

What is the breaking capacity of this breaker?

The ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity (Icu) is 55 kA at 415 V AC, which is the M (medium) breaking capacity class for the 3VM1 160 A frame.

What are the protection settings on 3VM1120-5EE46-0AA2?

It has a TM220 thermal-magnetic trip unit with adjustable overload protection Ir from 14 A to 20 A, and fixed instantaneous short-circuit protection Ii at 16 times In (320 A).
