Built into a 248 mm high by 138 mm wide by 110 mm deep frame, it fits standard switchboard or panelboard mounting footprints. ## Current derating and thermal limits Above that, it derates linearly: 385 A at 55 °C, 370 A at 60 °C, 355 A at 65 °C, and 340 A at 70 °C. That's the heat the breaker dumps into the enclosure; factor it into your thermal budget if the panel is sealed or has limited ventilation. That's typical for a high-capacity feeder breaker in a large industrial plant or a utility service entrance. At 690 V the interrupting capacity drops to 7.5 kA — still adequate for most 690 V motor circuits, but verify your available fault current before specifying. ## Integration and wiring Three-pole design with line-side and load-side lugs for copper or aluminum conductors. The shunt trip release (STL) is wired to a remote E-stop or safety relay circuit; the two auxiliary switches HQ provide normally-open/normally-closed contacts for status monitoring. No undervoltage release or ground-fault module on this variant — if you need those, look at the 3VA2 family options with UVR or GF add-ons.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2340-5HN32-0HC0 SENTRON MCCB, 400A, 3-Pole, 187kA","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2340-5HN32-0HC0 molded case circuit breaker, 400A continuous, 3-pole, 187kA interrupting at 240V.
