Product details

Its ETU850 electronic trip unit gives you adjustable overload and short-circuit protection with a continuous current rating of 40 A, sitting inside a frame rated for 60 A minimum to 480 A maximum — meaning the same physical breaker shell can be ordered with different trip units across the range, but this specific variant is set for 40 A continuous duty. At 690 V AC the same breaker still handles 187 kA, which covers most 690 V industrial grids.

Panel integration — dimensions and mounting

Maximum power loss is 1.2 W — negligible for panel heat budgeting, but worth noting if you're packing many breakers in a sealed enclosure.

Trip unit and protection features

The N-conductor protection is adjustable from OFF to 40%–160% of the rated current, giving flexibility for systems with partial or full neutral protection. This variant does not include undervoltage release, ground-fault monitoring, or a trip indicator. If those functions are needed on the same BOM, you'd add them as external modules or select a different 3VA2 option code. Grounding protection is also absent — this is a line-protection breaker, not a GFCI device.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2140-0KP36-0AA0?

440 kA at 415 V AC and 187 kA at 690 V AC. The 440 kA figure at 415 V is the headline rating — it handles extremely high fault currents typical of transformer secondaries or large industrial grids.

Where can I buy 3VA2140-0KP36-0AA0?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm commitment.

Does this breaker include ground-fault protection?

No. The 3VA2140-0KP36-0AA0 does not include ground-fault monitoring or grounding protection. It is a line-protection MCCB with an ETU850 trip unit. For ground-fault protection, you would need a different variant or an external module.
