It includes ground-fault monitoring via summation current formation on the L + N conductor, so it catches leakage on the load side without a separate GFCI module. That's one less device to wire and one less DIN rail slot consumed. Dimensions: 181 mm height, 140 mm width, 86 mm depth. That 86 mm depth keeps it clear of most gland plates and back-panel wiring channels — no need to force a deeper enclosure just to clear the breaker body.","metaTitle":"SENTRON 3VA2140-5JQ46-0AA0 MCCB, 40 A, 4-Pole, 187 kA at 240","metaDescription":"SENTRON 3VA2140-5JQ46-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 40 A continuous, 4-pole, 187 kA breaking at 240 V.
