Product details

It's a 3-pole unit rated 40 A continuous at 40 °C, with a TM210 thermal-magnetic release that handles overload and short-circuit trip curves in one package.

Breaking capacity — what it actually interrupts

Breaking capacity drops with system voltage, as expected. At 240 V it clears 75.6 kA; at 415 V it's 52.5 kA; at 440 V it's 32 kA; at 500 V and 690 V it holds at 7.5 kA. That 7.5 kA at 690 V is the number to check if you're feeding a 690 V drive bus — the upstream fuse or breaker needs to coordinate so the MCCB sees a fault within its rating.

The 40 A rating holds from 40 °C up to 50 °C. Above that it derates: 38.4 A at 55 °C, 37.6 A at 60 °C, 36.8 A at 65 °C, 36 A at 70 °C. If your enclosure hits 60 °C near the top, you lose about 2.4 A — plan the load accordingly. The case is 76.2 mm wide, 130 mm tall, 70 mm deep; it mounts on a DIN rail or panel-mount plate.

What are the key ratings for 3VA1040-3ED32-0AE0?

It's a 3-pole, 40 A (at 40 °C) molded case circuit breaker with a TM210 thermal-magnetic release. Breaking capacity is 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 7.5 kA at 500 V and 690 V. Rated insulation voltage is 800 V.

What is the depth of 3VA1040-3ED32-0AE0?

The depth is 70 mm (2.76 in). Width is 76.2 mm (3 in), height is 130 mm (5.12 in).

Will 3VA1040-3ED32-0AE0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs in the same 3VA frame family, so the mounting footprint and DIN-rail clip positions are identical. The difference is in the release and rating — the 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0 is a higher-current variant with an electronic release. Verify the load current and trip curve before swapping; the physical fit is the same.
