That thermal curve means you can run it at full nameplate in most ventilated enclosures without a second look. Breaking capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 7.5 kA at 690 V. The trip indicator is present, so a quick visual scan tells you whether it's tripped or healthy — saves time on a panel walk during a jam recovery. Designed for line protection, this breaker handles feeder and main distribution duty. The communication function lets it talk to a higher-level control system — useful for remote monitoring of trip events and load status on a zoned conveyor line where you want to know which section dropped without walking the whole length. The 3VA2225-5HN42-0BB0 is a 250 A frame — 150 A lower continuous rating than this 400 A unit. Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs with similar breaking capacities at the lower voltage tiers, but the 3VA2225 frame is physically smaller (shorter and narrower). If your panel was laid out for the 3VA2225, the 3VA2340 will not drop into the same mounting footprint without bus bar and enclosure modifications. Stick with the 3VA2225 for a direct swap; use the 3VA2340 only if you're upsizing the feeder.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2340-5JP32-0CL0 SENTRON MCCB, 400 A, 3-Pole, 187","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2340-5JP32-0CL0 molded case circuit breaker, 400 A continuous, 3-pole, 187 kA breaking at 240 V.
