Short-circuit breaking capacity is the headline number for this frame: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at both 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. That SCCR profile means it handles high-fault utility feeds at low voltage and still clears a 690 V motor-circuit fault without cascading upstream. ## Trip unit, auxiliaries, and communication The ETU560 electronic trip unit supports communication — it can talk to the higher-level control system via the SENTRON communication bus, so you get remote trip indication, current metering, and parameter adjustment without opening the panel door. A shunt trip release (STL) is integrated for remote emergency-off or undervoltage-initiated tripping. Ground-fault monitoring uses summation current formation on L + N, so it detects leakage without a separate toroid. Mechanical endurance is 15,000 operations — not a daily-switch duty class, but fine for a distribution feeder that cycles once or twice a month. Dimensions: 184 mm wide, 248 mm high, 110 mm deep.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2340-5JQ42-0KH0 SENTRON MCCB, 400 A, 4-Pole, 187","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2340-5JQ42-0KH0 molded case circuit breaker, 400 A, 4-pole, line protection with ETU560. 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V.
