The auxiliary contact set includes two auxiliary switches plus a separate trip alarm switch (HQ), letting the PLC know exactly when the breaker tripped on a fault versus a manual open. ## Thermal derating — what the 400 A rating really means The 400 A rating holds flat from 40 °C up to 50 °C, then derates gradually: 384 A at 55 °C, 376 A at 60 °C, 368 A at 65 °C, and 360 A at 70 °C. That storage floor matters if the spare sits in an unheated warehouse over winter. ## What the ETU320 release gives you","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2440-6HL32-0DH0 MCCB, 400 A, 242 kA at 240 V","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2440-6HL32-0DH0 molded case circuit breaker, 400 A rated, 242 kA breaking at 240 V, ETU320 release, undervoltage trip.
