Breaking capacity is 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 9 kA at 690 V — the 415 V figure is the one most European industrial panels will reference for fault-current coordination studies. Designed specifically for motor protection, it includes phase failure detection and a trip indicator, with a configurable short-time delay adjustable between 4 s and 17 s to ride through motor starting inrush without nuisance tripping. ## Integration and mounting dimensions Maximum power loss at full rated load is 63.5 W — factor this into enclosure ventilation calculations, especially in multi-breaker panels.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2440-5MN32-0AH0 SENTRON MCCB, 400 A, 3-Pole, Moto","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2440-5MN32-0AH0 molded case circuit breaker, 400 A continuous at 40-70°C, 187 kA at 240 V, motor protection design with phase failure detection.
