The Siemens 3VA1340-6GF42-0AA0-ZD00 is a 4-pole IEC frame 400 molded case circuit breaker with a 70 kA interrupting capacity at 415 V (breaking capacity class H). It also includes 100% neutral conductor protection and a nut keeper kit, built for a DC Power OEM application in China.
The TM240 trip unit gives you thermal-magnetic protection: the thermal element handles overloads (Ir adjustable 280–400 A), and the magnetic element handles short-circuits (Ii adjustable 5–10× In). For a 400 A feeder, that Ii range is 2,000 to 4,000 A — typical for protecting cable runs or downstream distribution, not a motor starter directly.
This breaker belongs in a main or branch feeder position in an IEC-rated switchboard or panel. The 4-pole configuration with 100% neutral protection makes it suitable for TN-S or TN-C-S systems where the neutral is treated as a live conductor and needs overcurrent protection. The nut keeper kit and OEM designation suggest it was ordered as part of a larger assembly for a DC Power equipment builder in China — likely a rectifier or UPS input feeder.
