The interrupting capacity tells the selectivity story: 330 kA at 240 V, 242 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 187 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. The sharp drop at 690 V (3.7 kA) means this is not a 690 V main — it is a 400 V class device with a 690 V withstand rating for isolation duty only. Four poles handle three-phase plus neutral, or two independent circuits in a single enclosure. The IP40 front protection suits indoor panel mounting; no additional gasketing is needed for clean, dry environments.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2140-7HL42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 40 A, 4-Pole, ETU32","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2140-7HL42-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 40 A continuous, 4-pole, ETU320 trip unit, 330 kA at 240 V.

The 3VA2140-7HL42-0AA0 has a 40 A continuous rating and ETU320 trip; the 3VA2163-8HM32-0AA0 carries a 63 A rating and a different trip design. They share the same 4-pole form factor and mounting footprint, so a panel laid out for one can accept the other without rewiring, but the protective settings and continuous rating differ — coordination studies must be re-run if substituting."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for this MCCB?","answer":"As a current-production SENTRON MCCB, the 3VA2140-7HL42-0AA0 carries CE marking for the European market and is designed to meet IEC 60947-2. RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Siemens documentation. UL/CSA listing status should be verified against the specific catalog number for North American projects."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA2140-7HL42-0AA0","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA2140-7HL42-0AA0 when reusing this data.
