The ETU320 is a basic electronic trip unit — no communication, no voltage trigger, no phase-failure detection, no ground-fault monitoring. It's sized for straightforward line protection where you need adjustable overload and short-circuit curves without the complexity of a full metering trip. The 2 auxiliary switches (HQ version) provide status feedback to the PLC or SCADA without an add-on module. ## Temperature derating — don't lose capacity at the panel door Above that, the continuous current must be derated: 384 A at 55 °C, 376 A at 60 °C, 368 A at 65 °C, and 360 A at 70 °C. ## Mounting and integration — panel footprint Dimensions are 138 mm wide, 248 mm high, 110 mm deep. The 3-pole frame mounts on a standard backplate or DIN-rail adapter (not included). If you need remote tripping, plan for an external shunt or UVR module.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2440-6HL32-0AC0 SENTRON MCCB, 400 A, 242 kA","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2440-6HL32-0AC0 molded case circuit breaker, 400 A rated continuous current, 242 kA breaking capacity at 240 V.
