For a 400 V industrial feeder, 121 kA covers most transformer-secondaries up to about 2.5 MVA; at 690 V the 7.5 kA figure limits it to lower-fault-current applications. The ETU550 trip unit communicates via the integrated communication function, so it can report status and current draw to a BMS or PLC — useful for predictive maintenance on critical feeders. The 110 mm depth leaves room for rear-connection busbars or cable lugs in a standard 600 mm deep enclosure.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2340-5JP32-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 400 A, 3-Pole, ETU5","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2340-5JP32-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 400 A rated, 3-pole, ETU550 electronic trip unit, 187 kA at 240 V.
