The 400 A continuous rating holds through 50 °C (–); above that it derates to 385 A at 55 °C and 340 A at 70 °C, which matters if you are packing it into a warm enclosure without forced cooling. The 110 mm depth clears most 200 mm-deep enclosures with room for rear-connected busbars. Maximum power loss is 96 W at full rated current; factor that into your thermal budget if the breaker is enclosed with other heat sources. If you need those options, you step up to a different variant in the 3VA2 family.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2340-5HN32-0AC0 SENTRON MCCB, 400 A, 3-Pole, 187","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2340-5HN32-0AC0 molded case circuit breaker, 400 A continuous, 3-pole, 187 kA interrupting at 240 V.
