Before selecting an alternative, confirm its dimensions, terminals and installation requirements in the manufacturer documentation.
Where it sits in the control system
The 140M-C2E-C20 is the device-level element in an Allen-Bradley circuit breaker installation. It receives the field signals and control supply listed above — <= 440 V AC — and switches or conditions the load within the <= 440 V AC ratings shown in the Specifications table. Wiring and protective devices are sized to those same numbers, not to a generic assumption.
Typical installations place it in distribution boards, motor protection circuits, panel feeders, where the unit is matched to the original catalog number and the enclosure provides 35 mm DIN rail (IEC 60715) support. Record the catalog number and revision from the nameplate of the installed unit before specifying a like-for-like spare.
Selection notes for Allen-Bradley 140M-C2E-C20
Allen-Bradley 140M-C2E-C20 — Circuit breaker providing branch-circuit overload and short-circuit protection in distribution boards and panel feeders. The figures below are taken from the specification table on this page for catalog number 140M-C2E-C20; record the nameplate data of the unit being replaced before selecting an equivalent.
- Certifications: CE, UL, cULus — Use it as the reference when cross-checking a current-production equivalent.
- Rated operational voltage: <= 440 V AC — Verify it in the project documentation before confirming the order.
- Rated impulse withstand Uimp: 4 kV (IEC 60947-2) — Check this value against the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
- Breaking capacity Icu/Ics: 6 kA / 10 kA (IEC 60947-2) — Match it to the existing panel and upstream protection.
For a discontinued unit, match function and electrical ratings rather than the label alone.
Common questions about 140M-C2E-C20
Q.Which value is published under operating temperature for catalog number 140M-C2E-C20?
For 140M-C2E-C20, operating temperature is given as -25...+60 °C. Check the revision of the installed unit if the catalog number has been superseded.
Q.Before ordering 140M-C2E-C20, which rated impulse withstand Uimp entry should be checked?
The rated impulse withstand Uimp entry quoted above is 4 kV (IEC 60947-2). Compare it with the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
Q.Where can I find the enclosure rating data for 140M-C2E-C20?
It is listed in the specification table for Allen-Bradley 140M-C2E-C20 as IP20 (IEC 60529). Confirm this figure against the unit currently in the panel.
Q.What should I include in an enquiry for 140M-C2E-C20?
Send the full catalog number 140M-C2E-C20, the required quantity and a photo of the nameplate. Stock, lead time and the applicable compliance documents can then be confirmed for Allen-Bradley 140M-C2E-C20.
Q.How do I confirm compatibility of 140M-C2E-C20 before ordering?
Match the catalog number 140M-C2E-C20 and the specification values listed above against the installed unit, then confirm the firmware or hardware revision where a revision-sensitive part is involved.
