Product details

It carries 440 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V AC, stepping down to 330 kA at 415 V and 220 kA at 500 V, with a 52.5 kA floor at 690 V. That's a high-interrupting frame for a 40 A breaker, giving selectivity headroom upstream of a distribution board.

The ETU350 electronic trip unit is a line-protection design — it's not a motor-protection or ground-fault variant. The breaker is purely a thermal-magnetic replacement with electronic curve shaping for selectivity coordination on a feeder.

Dimensions are 181 mm high, 140 mm wide, 86 mm deep — a standard 4-pole MCCB footprint for a 160 A frame.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2040-8HN46-0AA0 and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA2040-8HN46-0AA0 at different voltages?

440 kA at 240 V AC, 330 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 220 kA at 500 V, and 52.5 kA at 690 V.

What trip unit does this MCCB use?

It uses the ETU350 electronic trip unit, designed for line protection — not motor protection or ground-fault monitoring.
