Product details

What this 1-pole MCCB does in the panel

The TM210 thermal-magnetic release gives fixed thermal pickup at 40 A and a fixed magnetic trip at 400 A (10× Ir), so there is no adjustment dial to set; what you see on the nameplate is what the breaker will do. At 240 V it interrupts faults up to 53 kA, which covers most secondary-side distribution in North American panels; at 415 V the breaking capacity drops to 7.5 kA, still adequate for European 400 V branch circuits behind a larger upstream breaker.

At 55 °C it drops to 39 A, at 65 °C to 38 A, and at the maximum operating temperature of 70 °C it still carries 37 A. That thermal curve matters if the breaker is packed into a high-density panel or mounted near heat sources like transformers or drives; you can run it at 40 A continuous up to 50 °C without second-guessing the nameplate.

The breaker occupies a single 25.4 mm (1 in) width on the DIN rail — standard 1-pole modular footprint. Depth is 70 mm (2.8 in), height 130 mm (5.1 in). The TM210 release is non-interchangeable; the breaker ships as a sealed unit with no user-accessible trip adjustment.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VM1140-3ED12-0AA0 at 240 V and 415 V?

At 240 V it interrupts 53 kA; at 415 V it interrupts 7.5 kA.

What is the closest functional second-source for 3VM1140-3ED12-0AA0?

The Siemens 3VA1020-3ED36-0AA0 is a 1-pole 40 A MCCB from the newer 3VA platform, but it uses a different trip unit and has a different depth dimension — it will not drop into the same panel cutout without checking the mounting footprint and wiring terminations.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3VM1140-3ED12-0AA0?

Siemens SENTRON MCCBs typically carry UL, CSA, and CE certifications, and the brand provides RoHS and REACH declarations. Specific cert numbers and declarations are included with the shipment or available on request.
