Product details

It's a line-protection device, meaning it's sized for feeder or branch-circuit duty where the main job is overcurrent and short-circuit interruption, not motor-starting curves.

At 240 V the interrupting rating hits 121 kA; at 415 V it's 76 kA; at 440 V it's 53 kA; at 500 V it drops to 11.9 kA.

Thermal derating and continuous current

Rated continuous current Iu is 80 A, and the adjustable response value Ir maxes at 80 A as well. The breaker holds 80 A all the way to 50 °C ambient; at 55 °C it's 78 A, at 60 °C it's 77 A, at 65 °C it's 75 A, and at 70 °C it's 74 A. That's a shallow derating curve — you don't lose much headroom in a warm enclosure. The TM220 release is a fixed thermal plus magnetic trip; no electronic adjustment, so what you set on the dial is what you get.

That's a standard 4-pole MCCB width — fits a typical 100 mm DIN-rail or panel-mount cutout.

What's not on this breaker

It's a plain thermal-magnetic line-protection breaker — no electronics to fail, no aux modules to configure. That keeps the failure mode simple: if it trips, it's either overload or short circuit.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VM1180-4EE42-0AA0 and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted 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 3VM1180-4EE42-0AA0's listed depth?

The depth is 70 mm (2.8 in).

What is 3VM1180-4EE42-0AA0's listed width?

The width is 101.6 mm (4 in).

Will 3VM1180-4EE42-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1110-5EE32-0JA0 without rewiring?

Both are 4-pole SENTRON MCCBs with similar 100 mm widths, but the 3VA series uses a different trip-unit platform (electronic vs TM220 thermal-magnetic). The 3VM1180-4EE42-0AA0 has no communication or ground-fault options, so a panel wired for those functions on the 3VA would need rework. For a straight line-protection swap at 80 A, the footprint is compatible, but verify the lug kit and terminal spacing against your existing bus bars.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VM1180-4EE42-0AA0?

As a SENTRON product, it carries the standard Siemens compliance package including CE marking for the European market and UL/CSA listings for North America. RoHS and REACH declarations are available through the manufacturer's documentation portal. The reference code per DIN EN 81346-2 is Q.
