The interrupting capacity reaches 187 kA at 240 V and 121 kA at 415 V, dropping to 75.6 kA at 500 V and 7.5 kA at 690 V; that 690 V figure is the one to check if you are feeding a 690 V drive bus, because the short-circuit current available at that voltage must stay under 7.5 kA or you need a current-limiting upstream device. The adjustable thermal-magnetic trip is set from 80 A to 400 A full scale, so one breaker covers a wide range of feeder sizes. Communication function is onboard, so it can integrate with a higher-level monitoring system for trip events and load data. ## Deployment context Mounts in a standard switchboard or panel enclosure on a DIN rail or direct-mount plate — the 110 mm depth and 138 mm width fit typical distribution sections. The 248 mm height means it occupies three full 9 mm module spaces on a DIN rail, so factor that into your panel layout.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2340-5JQ32-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 400 A, 3-Pole","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2340-5JQ32-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 400 A continuous, 3-pole, breaking capacity 187 kA at 240 V.
