Product details

It carries a 330 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V — that figure drops to 242 kA at 415 V and 440 V, and to 187 kA at 500 V, so the available fault current at your service entrance determines which voltage column you read. At 690 V the rating falls to 3 kA, which means this breaker is not intended for 690 V line-side protection in high-fault installations.

Thermal performance across the panel ambient range

The 86 mm depth and 140 mm width fit standard Siemens SENTRON mounting footprints, so it swaps into existing 3VA panel layouts without re-drilling gland plates.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2040-7JQ42-0AA0 and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing — confirmed at quote time.

What is 3VA2040-7JQ42-0AA0's listed depth on this component line?

The listed depth is 86 mm (3.39 in). Width is 140 mm (5.51 in), height is 181 mm (7.13 in).

Will 3VA2040-7JQ42-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2063-8JQ42-0AA0 without rewiring?

Both belong to the same SENTRON 3VA family and share the same mounting footprint, so mechanical fit is the same. The 3VA2063-8JQ42-0AA0 is a higher-current variant (63 A frame), so the 40 A 3VA2040-7JQ42-0AA0 will physically install in the same panel cutout without rewiring, but verify the load and protection coordination — the breaker's continuous rating must match the downstream circuit.
