Product details

It carries a continuous current rating of 40 A across the full ambient temperature range from 40 °C to 70 °C — no derating needed up to that ceiling, which simplifies panel sizing in warm enclosures. Breaking capacity hits 440 kA at 415 V and 187 kA at 690 V, so this breaker handles high-fault utility feeds without cascading upstream.

Selectivity and coordination

The ETU860 release supports adjustable N-conductor protection from OFF to 40–160 % of the phase rating, plus summation-current ground-fault monitoring on the L conductors. Front-face protection is IP40, so it's fine for standard panel mounting where no washdown or dust ingress is expected. Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 181 mm high, 86 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint for DIN-rail or screw-mount backpan assembly.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2140-0KQ36-0AA0 and how is it quoted?

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

What is the closest functional alternative to 3VA2140-0KQ36-0AA0?

The 3VA2140-8JQ32-0AA0 is a sibling in the same 3VA2 frame with a different trip unit and accessory configuration. Both share the 40 A frame and 3-pole footprint, but the -8JQ32 variant carries a different electronic release and optional communication module. Verify the trip curve and auxiliary contact count against your BOM before substituting.

What are the key ratings of 3VA2140-0KQ36-0AA0?

Rated continuous current is 40 A with no derating from 40 °C to 70 °C. Breaking capacity is 440 kA at 415 V and 187 kA at 690 V. The ETU860 electronic trip unit provides adjustable overload and short-circuit protection, plus ground-fault monitoring via summation current.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3VA2140-0KQ36-0AA0?

As a current-production SENTRON MCCB, it carries the standard Siemens declarations for RoHS, REACH, and applicable IEC/UL certifications. Specific certificate copies are available on request with an RFQ.
