Dimensions: 130 mm height, 76.2 mm width (3-pole), 70 mm depth. Comes with 2 auxiliary switches (HQ type) pre-installed, so you've got status feedback to the PLC without adding a separate aux block. ## What it does not have It's a bare-bones line-protection MCCB — thermal-magnetic only. If your spec calls for electronic trip adjustment or remote tripping, this isn't the variant.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1140-5EF36-0AC0 SENTRON MCCB, 40 A, 3-pole, 187 k","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1140-5EF36-0AC0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 40 A, 3-pole, TM240 trip unit, breaking capacity 187 kA at 240 V.
