Product details

It carries 4 poles, a rated continuous current of 40 A, and an ETU550 electronic overcurrent release. For a 40 A frame, that's serious SCCR headroom; you're not chasing coordination curves because the breaker can handle downstream faults before the upstream device has to move. The ETU550 release is a communicating electronic trip unit — this isn't a thermal-magnetic slug. The communication function means it can talk to a BMS or energy management system over the integrated bus, so you're getting status and trip event data without adding a separate meter. The IP40 on the front is standard for panelboard mounting — it's not a washdown part, keep it inside the enclosure.

Thermal derating: full rated current across the operating range

No derating curve to calculate. In a crowded panel where internal temperature can push past 50 °C, you don't have to oversize the frame or lose headroom.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA2040-6JP42-0AA0 at 240 V?
