The interrupting ratings are the headline: 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 breaker measures 110 mm deep, 184 mm wide, and 248 mm high — a 4-pole frame that fits standard SENTRON mounting patterns. It's a panel-mount MCCB, not a DIN-rail snap-on; you'll bolt it to a backplate or mount it in a SENTRON distribution board. The undervoltage release (UVR) is built in, so if the control voltage drops, the breaker trips — that's a safety interlock for motor control centers or emergency-stop circuits. Communication function is present, meaning it can integrate with a higher-level monitoring system for power metering or remote trip indication.","metaTitle":"SENTRON 3VA2340-5JQ42-0CA0 MCCB, 400 A, 4-Pole, 187 kA at 24","metaDescription":"SENTRON 3VA2340-5JQ42-0CA0 molded case circuit breaker, 400 A, 4-pole, 187 kA at 240 V.
