Product details

What this breaker does on the line

The Siemens 3VM1180-5EE46-0AA2 is a 4-pole IEC frame 160 molded case circuit breaker rated 80 A continuous, with a 55 kA interrupting capacity at 415 V AC (breaking capacity class M). Overload protection is adjustable via the TM220 thermal-magnetic trip unit: Ir from 56 A to 80 A, so you dial it to exactly match the cable or load ampacity. Short-circuit magnetic pickup is fixed at 10 x In (800 A), which keeps it selective with downstream branch breakers on motor starts that draw 6-8 x FLA for a few cycles.

What the protection settings mean for panel coordination

The TM220 trip unit gives you thermal adjustment (Ir = 56-80 A) but a fixed magnetic (Ii = 800 A). That fixed short-circuit pickup is typical for line protection — it lets the breaker ride through inrush without nuisance tripping, but it also means you cannot dial down the magnetic threshold to achieve full selectivity with a downstream 20 A branch breaker. If your design requires adjustable short-circuit pickup, you would step up to an electronic trip (ETU) variant in the same 3VM1 frame.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VM1180-5EE46-0AA2?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. We source the part to order and confirm availability and current pricing at quote time — no automated stock figures here.

What does the 55 kA breaking capacity at 415 V mean for my panel?

It means this breaker can safely interrupt a fault current up to 55,000 A at 415 V AC without failing. That is the figure you use for the panel SCCR label when this breaker is the first device after the main disconnect.
