Its breaking capacity hits 121 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 415 V, and 52.5 kA at 440 V — numbers that put it in the high-interrupting class for industrial distribution panels.
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.
Width 76.2 mm, height 130 mm, depth 70 mm. The IP40 front rating means the breaker face is protected against solid objects >1 mm, but the body expects enclosure protection for the terminals.

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs with similar panel footprints, but the 3VA1010-2ED32-0JA0 is a lower-rated variant. Verify the mounting hole pattern and busbar spacing from the respective dimensional drawings — the 3VA1140-4EF36-0JH0 has a 76.2 mm width and 130 mm height, which is standard for the 3VA platform, but the lug kit and terminal layout may differ. Always confirm the connection scheme before swapping.
Siemens SENTRON MCCBs typically carry IEC 60947-2 compliance and UL 489 listing. RoHS and REACH declarations are standard from the manufacturer. Specific certification marks (CE, UKCA, EAC) should be confirmed against the unit's nameplate or the Siemens declaration of conformity for this order code.
