The 330 kA at 240 VAC is the highest short-circuit rating on this frame size — per the datasheet, it drops to 242 kA at 415 VAC and 187 kA at 500 VAC, then to 7.5 kA at 690 VAC. For a site engineer coordinating with upstream protective devices, the 400 A continuous rating holds flat from 40 °C through 50 °C (no derating needed), then steps down to 385 A at 55 °C and 340 A at 70 °C. That thermal curve governs the actual ampacity in a sealed enclosure. The 3VA2340-7HN32-0JC0 measures 248 mm high by 138 mm wide by 110 mm deep — a standard SENTRON 3VA frame footprint. The shunt trip (STL) operates on a separate control voltage; verify polarity and coil rating against the panel's control transformer before wiring.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2340-7HN32-0JC0 SENTRON MCCB, 400 A, 3-Pole, 330","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2340-7HN32-0JC0 molded case circuit breaker, 400 A continuous, 3-pole, 330 kA breaking capacity at 240 VAC.
