Product details

It carries a 121 kA interrupting rating at 240 V, dropping to 75.6 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 52.5 kA at 500 V, and 3 kA at 690 V — the high fault-current headroom at the lower voltages makes it a fit for main or feeder duty in panels where available fault current is substantial.

N-conductor protection is adjustable OFF or 100%. Maximum power loss is 2.2 W — negligible for thermal budgeting inside a closed panel. Dimensions are 181 mm height, 140 mm width, 86 mm depth — the 140 mm width is the 4-pole form factor on this platform, so it occupies the same footprint as other 4-pole SENTRON 3VA breakers. Mounting is via screw terminals, not plug-in, so the panel builder wires directly to the lugs.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2040-4HM42-0AA0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing; the part is sourced to order through independent distribution, with pricing and stock confirmed at quote time.

Will 3VA2040-4HM42-0AA0 drop into a panel that was specified around 3VA2140-8JQ42-0AA0 without rewiring?

Both are 4-pole SENTRON 3VA breakers sharing the same 140 mm width and 181 mm height, so the mechanical footprint is identical. The 3VA2140-8JQ42-0AA0 carries a different trip unit and interrupting rating — verify the protection settings and SCCR before swapping, but the panel cutout and bus-bar spacing are the same.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA2040-4HM42-0AA0?

As a Siemens SENTRON MCCB, it carries CE marking for the European market and is designed to IEC 60947-2. RoHS and REACH declarations are standard with the product documentation.
