Interrupting capacity is the headline here: 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 7.5 kA at 690 V. ## Thermal derating — what the curve tells you At 55 °C it derates to 385 A, at 60 °C to 370 A, at 65 °C to 355 A, and at 70 °C to 340 A. That 15 A drop per 5 °C step above 50 °C is the thermal bimetal responding to the internal temperature — if your panel ambient runs 60 °C, you lose 30 A of headroom. Design the enclosure ventilation accordingly. If you need shunt trip or remote signaling, that's an add-on accessory order.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2340-5HL32-0AB0 SENTRON MCCB, 400 A, 3-Pole, 187","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2340-5HL32-0AB0 molded case circuit breaker, 400 A continuous, 3-pole, adjustable trip 600–4000 A, 187 kA at 240 V.
