Breaking capacity hits 330 kA at 240 V (242 kA at 415 V, 187 kA at 500 V, and 3 kA at 690 V), which means it can interrupt fault currents at the high end of the available short-circuit spectrum without cascading upstream — relevant for transformer-secondaries or high-capacity bus risers. ## Release and integration The overcurrent release is an ETU330 electronic trip unit, adjustable response time tr from 0.5 s to 17 s, giving the commissioning engineer room to coordinate with downstream devices without sacrificing selectivity.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2040-7HM36-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 40 A, 330 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2040-7HM36-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 40 A rated continuous current, 330 kA breaking capacity at 240 V.
