Product details

Its breaking capacity reaches 52.5 kA at 240 V and 32 kA at 415 V, so it clears high-fault currents without cascading upstream — critical for a main or feeder breaker in a 400 V industrial supply.

Rated current holds 40 A from 40 °C up to 50 °C, then derates to 38.4 A at 55 °C and 36 A at 70 °C. For a panel running at 50 °C ambient, you get full 40 A; above that, size the load accordingly. Maximum power loss is 10.8 W per pole — negligible for most enclosures but worth factoring into a sealed, high-density cabinet's thermal budget.

Breaking capacity is voltage-dependent: 52.5 kA at 240 V, 32 kA at 415 V, 13.6 kA at 440 V, and 7.5 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. That covers most industrial motor control centers and secondary distribution.

The supplied basic switch is 3VA10402ED320AA0.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA1040-2ED32-0JH0?

When sourcing 3VA1040-2ED32-0JH0, what's the closest functional second-source — 3VA1010-2ED32-0JA0?

The 3VA1010-2ED32-0JA0 is a lower-current sibling (10 A vs 40 A) in the same 3-pole, line-protection SENTRON family. It shares the same frame dimensions (70 mm depth, 76.2 mm width, 130 mm height) and auxiliary-switch options, so it drops into the same panel footprint without rewiring — but you must match the load current. The 3VA1040-2ED32-0JH0 is the 40 A version; the 3VA1010 is the 10 A version.

Will 3VA1040-2ED32-0JH0 drop into a panel that was specified around 3VA1010-2ED32-0JA0 without rewiring?

Yes — both share the same 70 mm depth, 76.2 mm width, and 130 mm height, and both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs with the same auxiliary-switch layout. The physical footprint and terminal arrangement are identical; the only difference is the 40 A vs 10 A rating. No rewiring needed if the conductors and upstream protection are sized for 40 A.
