Product details

The SENTRON 3VA1040-2ED32-0AH0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) designed for line protection, fitted with a TM210 thermal-magnetic release and rated 40 A continuous at 40 °C ambient. The interrupting capacity reaches 52.5 kA at 240 V AC and 32 kA at 415 V AC — figures that govern the available fault current the breaker can clear without damage to itself or downstream gear. That 52.5 kA at 240 V is the headline number for North American panels; the 32 kA at 415 V is the one that matters in 400 V-class European distribution. The TM210 release combines a thermal bimetal for overload protection and a magnetic coil for short-circuit response.

The breaker measures 130 mm high, 76.2 mm wide (3 in), and 70 mm deep. Depth of 70 mm means it clears most standard enclosure back-panels without a sub-panel extension.

Above that, the continuous current derates: 38.4 A at 55 °C, 37.6 A at 60 °C, 36.8 A at 65 °C, and 36 A at 70 °C.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1040-2ED32-0AH0 and how is it quoted?

The part is sourced to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing — confirmed at quote time.

What is the closest functional second-source to 3VA1040-2ED32-0AH0?

Within the same family, the 3VA1110-5EE32-0LC0 is a higher-current sibling with an electronic release; it does not drop into the same panel footprint without verifying the mounting and bus-bar spacing. The 3VA1040-2ED32-0AH0 is the correct 40 A thermal-magnetic line-protection breaker; no direct drop-in substitute exists.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA1040-2ED32-0AH0?

SENTRON 3VA breakers typically carry UL, CSA, and IEC certifications. Specific declarations (RoHS, REACH, CE, UKCA) are available on request at quote time — the evidence does not list them on this order code.
