The adjustable current range spans 600 A to 4 000 A, meaning this breaker can be tuned for downstream coordination without swapping the frame. ## Thermal derating and real-world loading At 40 °C, 45 °C, and 50 °C the breaker holds its full 400 A rating; at 55 °C it derates to 375 A, at 60 °C to 350 A, at 65 °C to 325 A, and at 70 °C to 300 A. Maximum power loss is 96 W, which matters for enclosure heat rise calculations when multiple breakers are ganged. ## Auxiliary configuration and communication It includes a communication function and a voltage trigger, so it can talk to a BMS or PLC for load shedding or fault annunciation. The 110 mm depth (4.33 in) leaves room for rear-access wiring in a 600 mm deep enclosure.","metaTitle":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2340-5KP32-0HL0 MCCB, 400 A, 3-Pole","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2340-5KP32-0HL0 molded case circuit breaker, 400 A continuous, 3-pole, 187 kA at 240 V.
