Product details

The Siemens 3VA1040-2ED32-0AE0 is a 3-pole IEC frame 100 circuit breaker with a 16 kA breaking capacity at 415 V (class B). It carries a fixed 40 A overload protection (Ir) and a fixed short-circuit release set at 10 x In, meaning it trips instantaneously at 400 A. The TM210 line protection curve suits feeder and distribution circuits where a thermal-magnetic trip characteristic is standard.

The fixed Ir=40 A and Ii=10 x In (400 A instantaneous pickup) make it a drop-in for designs that already specify a 40 A TM210 thermal-magnetic trip; no field adjustment of the overload or short-circuit settings is possible. The nut keeper kit and four auxiliary switches (HQ) are factory-fitted, so the breaker arrives ready for status feedback and panel wiring.

Panel integration

The 3VA1 frame is 100 A rated, so the 40 A version leaves thermal headroom for the terminal connections. The auxiliary switches occupy the side slots; plan the DIN rail layout so the switching wiring doesn't crowd the main power cables.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of this circuit breaker?

The 3VA1040-2ED32-0AE0 has a rated ultimate breaking capacity Icu of 16 kA at 415 V AC, class B per IEC 60947-2. That covers most industrial distribution panels with moderate fault levels.

What protection settings does this breaker have?

Overload protection Ir is fixed at 40 A (thermal). Short-circuit protection Ii is fixed at 10 x In, or 400 A instantaneous magnetic trip. No field adjustment of either setting is possible — it's a fixed-trip TM210 unit.
