Product details

Siemens 3VA1040-3ED32-0CH0 — SENTRON MCCB, 40 A, Line Protection

The interrupting ratings climb to 75.6 kA at 240 V and 52.5 kA at 415 V, so it handles high-fault-current scenarios common in industrial switchgear. No communication function, no phase failure detection, and no ground fault monitoring are built in; this is a straightforward thermal-magnetic MCCB without electronic trip unit extras.

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.

Interrupting Ratings Across Voltages

The interrupting capacity varies sharply with system voltage: 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 7.5 kA at 690 V. For a 415 V panel with typical transformer impedance, 52.5 kA covers most service-entrance and sub-feed applications.

That 76.2 mm width is a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint — it drops into the same panel cutout as other 3VA 3-pole frames. The IP40 front protection means it's rated for indoor panel mounting only; no outdoor or washdown exposure.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA1040-3ED32-0CH0 at 415 V?

52.5 kA at 415 V. At 240 V it's 75.6 kA, at 440 V it's 32 kA, and at 690 V it's 7.5 kA.

Where can I buy the 3VA1040-3ED32-0CH0?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

Does this breaker include an undervoltage release?

Yes, it includes an undervoltage release (UVR) as the auxiliary release, plus a 2-auxiliary-switch + 1-trip-alarm-switch HQ contact block.
