Product details

SENTRON 3VA1040-3ED36-0KH0 — 40 A MCCB for Line Protection

It carries a 75.6 kA breaking capacity at 240 V and 52.5 kA at 415 V, which means it safely interrupts high fault currents without cascading upstream — critical for selectivity coordination in a main or feeder breaker position.

Breaking Capacity and Thermal Performance

Breaking capacity is rated at 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 7.5 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. Thermal current rating holds at 40 A from 40 °C through 50 °C, then derates to 38.4 A at 55 °C and 36 A at 70 °C.

Auxiliary Circuit Configuration and Release Options

No undervoltage release is fitted, so the breaker does not drop out on voltage sag; if UVR protection is needed, select a different suffix. The trip indicator and voltage trigger are present, confirming visual and electrical trip indication.

The 76.2 mm width matches the 3-pole modular pitch for SENTRON 3VA breakers, so it occupies three 25.4 mm (1-inch) module spaces.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1040-3ED36-0KH0 and what is the lead time?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm lead-time and price commitment.

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1040-3ED36-0KH0 at 415 V?

The breaking capacity is 52.5 kA at 415 V, suitable for most 400 VAC industrial distribution panels with high available fault current.

Does 3VA1040-3ED36-0KH0 include a shunt trip release?

Yes, this variant is fitted with a shunt trip release (STL) for remote tripping, plus two auxiliary switches and one trip alarm switch (HQ) for status and fault indication.

What is the rated current of 3VA1040-3ED36-0KH0 at elevated ambient temperatures?

Rated current is 40 A from 40 °C through 50 °C, then derates to 38.4 A at 55 °C, 37.6 A at 60 °C, 36.8 A at 65 °C, and 36 A at 70 °C.
