The thermal derating curve is flat from 40 °C to 50 °C at 400 A, then steps down: 385 A at 55 °C, 370 A at 60 °C, 355 A at 65 °C, and 340 A at 70 °C. ## Auxiliaries and integration No ground-fault monitoring or communication module on this order code; those are separate add-on accessories. The basic switch variant is 3VA2340-6HL32-0AA0, which omits the UVR and aux switches. ## Physical fit That 138 mm width is a 3-pole MCCB footprint — verify the mounting base and door cutout against your existing panel layout, especially if replacing a different brand or series. The depth of 110 mm includes the arc chamber and terminals; allow clearance for cable bending radius behind the panel.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2340-6HL32-0BC0 SENTRON MCCB, 400 A, 242 kA at 24","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2340-6HL32-0BC0 molded case circuit breaker, 400 A continuous, 242 kA interrupting at 240 V. 3-pole, line protection.
