Product details

SENTRON 3VA1040-2ED46-0AA0 — 40 A MCCB, line protection

Its interrupting capacity reaches 52.5 kA at 240 V, 32 kA at 415 V, 13.6 kA at 440 V, and 7.5 kA at 500/690 V — so at typical 400 V class distribution voltages, it clears 32 kA faults, enough for most secondary switchboards. The 70 mm depth and 101.6 mm width fit standard SENTRON panel footprints, and the IP40 front protection suits enclosed distribution boards.

Thermal-magnetic curve and derating

The TM210 release holds 40 A continuously up to 50 °C ambient, derates to 39 A at 55–60 °C, 38 A at 65 °C, and 37 A at 70 °C — no derating needed in a standard 40 °C panel, but account for the drop in a hot enclosure.

Frequently asked questions

What is 3VA1040-2ED46-0AA0's listed depth on this component line?

The depth is 70 mm (2.76 in).

What is 3VA1040-2ED46-0AA0's listed width on this component line?

The width is 101.6 mm (4 in).

Will 3VA1040-2ED46-0AA0 drop into a panel that was specified around 3VA1020-3ED36-0AA0 without rewiring?

No — the 3VA1040-2ED46-0AA0 is a 4-pole breaker, while the 3VA1020-3ED36-0AA0 is 3-pole. The additional pole requires different bus connections and a wider mounting footprint, so panel rework is necessary.
