The thermal derating curve is flat from 40 °C to 50 °C (full 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. The 110 mm depth and 138 mm width fit standard panel-mount cutouts for this frame size. ## Integration and compliance notes Maximum power loss is 96 W — account for that in enclosure thermal calculations. These are the replacement subassemblies if a service swap is needed.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2340-6HN32-0HC0 SENTRON MCCB, 400 A, 3-Pole, ETU3","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2340-6HN32-0HC0 molded case circuit breaker, 400 A rated, 3-pole, ETU350 trip unit, 242 kA at 240 V.
