Product details

The Siemens 3VA2040-5KQ32-0AA0 is a SENTRON molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 40 A continuous current across the full operating temperature range of -25 °C to 70 °C — no derating needed up to 70 °C, which simplifies panel design in warm cabinets or outdoor enclosures. The breaking capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V AC and still delivers 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, so it handles high-fault utility feeds or transformer secondaries without needing a current-limiting fuse upstream.

The breaker includes a communication function and a ground-fault monitoring version using summation current formation on the L-conductor, which allows integration with a BMS or PLC for remote trip indication and leakage monitoring.
