Product details

It carries a maximum interrupt capacity of 480 A, with breaking capacities of 330 kA at 240 V, 242 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 187 kA at 500 V, and 3 kA at 690 V — so the same breaker handles different fault-current levels across common industrial voltages without swapping frames.

Thermal performance across the panel ambient range

That simplifies panel thermal budgeting: you don't have to oversize the breaker for a 50 °C switchroom or a cabinet sitting next to a drive.

Built-in communication and ground-fault monitoring

That saves an external ground-fault relay in panels where earth-leakage detection is required.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2040-7JQ32-0AA0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. The part is sourced to order via independent distribution; pricing and stock levels are confirmed at quote time — no automated price or lead-time figure is published here.

What is the closest functional alternative to 3VA2040-7JQ32-0AA0?

The 3VA2140-8JQ32-0AA0 is a peer in the same SENTRON family. Both are 40 A, 3-pole MCCBs with similar breaking capacities. The 3VA2140 variant uses a different trip-unit generation; verify the trip-characteristic curve and accessory compatibility before substituting into an existing panel design.

What are the physical dimensions of 3VA2040-7JQ32-0AA0?

Depth is 86 mm, width is 105 mm, height is 181 mm — standard MCCB footprint for a 3-pole frame in this class.

Will 3VA2040-7JQ32-0AA0 drop into a panel designed for 3VA2140-8JQ32-0AA0?

The external dimensions are the same for both order codes — 86 mm depth, 105 mm width, 181 mm height — so the mechanical fit is identical. The difference is internal trip-unit electronics; check the trip curve and accessory wiring before swapping.
