It carries a 187 kA interrupting capacity 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 SCCR headroom a site electrical engineer needs for selectivity studies and fault coordination downstream. ## Thermal performance and derating Above 55 °C the continuous rating steps down: 375 A at 55 °C, 350 A at 60 °C, 325 A at 65 °C, and 300 A at 70 °C. ## Protection and auxiliary functions The breaker includes a communication function and an other measurement function, meaning it can integrate into a monitored distribution system for a category sourcing buyer tracking BOM-level power data. Maximum power loss is 96 W, which factors into enclosure thermal calculations.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2340-5KP32-0JA0 SENTRON MCCB, 400A, 3-Pole","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2340-5KP32-0JA0 molded case circuit breaker. 400 A continuous, 187 kA at 240 V, 3-pole with shunt trip.
