Product details

What this 40 A MCCB delivers — and where the ratings matter

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2040-6HL36-0AA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 40 A continuous current with no derating all the way up to 70 °C ambient — same 40 A at 40 °C, 55 °C, even 70 °C. That means you size the breaker for the load, not the panel temperature. At 690 V AC it still clears 3 kA. No voltage trigger, no ground-fault monitoring, no communication function — this is a straight distribution breaker, not a power monitor.

Panel fit — dimensions and mounting

The IP40 front protection means it's fine inside a closed enclosure — no special sealing needed for the operator face.
