For a panel that runs warm — say 55 °C ambient inside the enclosure — the usable current drops to 385 A, so the load must be sized accordingly. The breaking capacity is voltage-dependent: 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 7.5 kA at 690 V. ## Auxiliary switch configuration and release The basic switch core is order code 3VA2340-6HN32-0AA0, which means the auxiliary and release modules are factory-integrated, not field-added.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2340-6HN32-0DL0 SENTRON MCCB, 400 A, 3-Pole","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2340-6HN32-0DL0 molded case circuit breaker, 400 A continuous, 3-pole, 242 kA at 240 V.
