Maximum power loss is 96 W — that heat has to leave the enclosure, so factor it into the thermal budget for a sealed or high-fill panel. ## Integrated accessories — shunt trip and auxiliary switches Factory-fitted with a shunt trip (STL) design for remote tripping and a 2-auxiliary + 1 trip-alarm switch HQ configuration. The shunt trip allows a PLC or E-stop circuit to open the breaker without a manual action — common in safety circuits and remote shutdown schemes. The auxiliary contacts report breaker position back to the control system; the separate trip alarm signals a fault trip distinct from a manual open.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2340-5HL32-0JH0 SENTRON MCCB, 400 A, 3-Pole, ETU3","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2340-5HL32-0JH0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 400 A rated, 3-pole, ETU320 trip unit, 187 kA at 240 V.
