Product details

400 A MCCB with TM240 Release

It carries a TM240 thermal-magnetic overcurrent release, meaning the thermal pickup and magnetic trip are set for a 400 A frame — no electronic adjustment, just reliable bimetal and solenoid response for motor and feeder circuits. The interrupting ratings are serious: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, and still 11.9 kA at 690 V, so it handles high-fault utility feeds or transformer secondaries without needing a current-limiting fuse upstream.

Current Carrying and Thermal Derating

Above that it derates in steps: 392 A at 55 °C, 384 A at 60 °C, 376 A at 65 °C, and 367 A at 70 °C. The maximum power loss is 92.1 W, so ventilation matters in a sealed enclosure.

No end-of-life notice or successor has been issued for the 3VA1340-5EF42-0AA0.

Storage range is wider: -40 °C to 80 °C, which matters if you're warehousing spares in an unheated building.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1340-5EF42-0AA0 and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a request for quote; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is 3VA1340-5EF42-0AA0's interrupting capacity at 240 V?

It interrupts 187 kA at 240 V, dropping to 121 kA at 415 V and 11.9 kA at 690 V — high enough for most utility-fed main breakers.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA1340-5EF42-0AA0?

As a Siemens SENTRON MCCB, it carries the usual CE marking for the European market and is designed to meet IEC 60947-2. RoHS and REACH declarations are standard from Siemens for this series.
