The 7.5 kA rating at 690 V is a steep drop — this frame is not intended for 690 V line-side faults; it is a 400 V class device. Thermal derating is published per the datasheet: the breaker holds 400 A up to 50 °C ambient, then drops to 375 A at 55 °C, 350 A at 60 °C, 325 A at 65 °C, and 300 A at 70 °C. The breaker occupies 138 mm width, 248 mm height, and 110 mm depth — a 3-pole frame that fits standard SENTRON 3VA2 mounting footprints. The basic switch is order code 3VA2340-6JP32-0AA0; the -0AF0 suffix adds the communication module.","metaTitle":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2340-6JP32-0AF0 MCCB, 400 A, 3-Pole, 242","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2340-6JP32-0AF0 molded case circuit breaker, 400 A continuous, 3-pole, interrupting up to 242 kA at 240 V.
