That 400 A holds flat through 50 °C — at 55 °C it derates to 385 A, at 70 °C to 340 A, so the real-world ampacity depends on your enclosure ambient. The breaking capacity is the headline number: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415/440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. ## Integration and footprint The ETU320 is a basic electronic trip unit with LSI protection curves (long-time, short-time, instantaneous); no communication module or ground-fault detection on this variant, so if you need Modbus or ground-fault monitoring, you'd step up to the ETU350 or ETU600 variants in the same frame.","metaTitle":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2340-5HL32-0BH0 MCCB, 400A, 3-Pole, ETU32","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2340-5HL32-0BH0 molded case circuit breaker, 400A continuous, 3-pole, 187kA at 240V.
