Product details

The interrupting capacity reaches 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 7.5 kA at 690 V — these numbers govern the fault-current headroom at the point of installation. An undervoltage release (UVR) is built in, so the breaker trips if control voltage drops below the dropout threshold — common in emergency-stop or safety-disconnect circuits.

Above that it 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.

Auxiliary contacts and trip alarm

The trip alarm changes state only on a fault trip — not on manual switching — so it can feed a separate alarm input to a PLC or annunciator. The integrated auxiliary trip accessory carries order code 3VA9608-0BB11. No communication function or phase-failure detection is built in; this is a straightforward thermal-magnetic MCCB with no electronic trip unit.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1040-3ED32-0BH0 and how do I get a price?

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

What interrupting capacity does this breaker have at 415 V?

52.5 kA at 415 V, with 75.6 kA at 240 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 7.5 kA at 690 V.

What auxiliary contacts come with this MCCB?

2 auxiliary switches plus 1 trip alarm switch (HQ type). The trip alarm signals only on fault trips, not manual switching.

Does this breaker include an undervoltage release?

Yes, an undervoltage release (UVR) is built in — the breaker trips if control voltage drops below the dropout threshold.
