At 690 VAC it still holds 7.5 kA, which covers most industrial motor circuits. ## Thermal derating — don't ignore it Above that, the thermal curve drops: 385 A at 55 °C, 370 A at 60 °C, 355 A at 65 °C, 340 A at 70 °C. ## Auxiliary configuration and releases The shunt trip lets a remote PLC or E-stop circuit open the breaker; the alarm switch signals a trip event back to the control system.","metaTitle":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2340-6HN32-0KH0 Molded Case Circuit Break","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2340-6HN32-0KH0 MCCB, 400 A continuous, 3-pole, 242 kA at 240 VAC.
