Product details

Its interrupting capacity hits 76 kA at 240 V AC and still holds 53 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at 500 V — numbers that tell you it can clear high-fault bolted faults without cascading upstream, which is the deciding factor for panel SCCR compliance (IEC 60947-2).

The breaker holds its full 40 A rating from 40 °C up to 50 °C, then drops to 39 A at 55 °C and 60 °C, 38 A at 65 °C, and 37 A at 70 °C. That derating curve is what you need when the panel runs hot — if your enclosure ambient sits at 60 °C, you're limited to 39 A continuous, not the nameplate 40 A. The TM210 thermal-magnetic release (adjustable Ir up to 40 A) lets you fine-tune the trip point to the actual load without swapping the breaker.

The breaker measures 101.6 mm wide, 130 mm tall, and 70 mm deep — a standard 4-pole MCCB footprint that fits most DIN-rail or screw-mount panel layouts.

Electrical ratings and approvals context

Rated insulation voltage Ui is 690 V, and max operational voltage for DC applications is 500 V — so it can serve DC bus or battery circuits within that limit. The 12 000-cycle mechanical endurance is typical for a panel-mounted MCCB; it's not a switching contactor, but it will handle routine isolation without issue.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VM1140-3GD42-0AA0 and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

What is 3VM1140-3GD42-0AA0's listed depth?

The depth is 70 mm (2.8 in).

What is 3VM1140-3GD42-0AA0's listed width?

The width is 101.6 mm (4 in).

Will 3VM1140-3GD42-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1020-3ED36-0AA0 without rewiring?

The 3VM1140-3GD42-0AA0 is a 4-pole 40 A MCCB with a TM210 release, while the 3VA1020-3ED36-0AA0 is a different frame size and rating — panel fit is not guaranteed without verifying mounting footprint, lug spacing, and bus bar alignment. Always compare the dimensional drawing and terminal layout before substitution.
