SENTRON 3VA2 MCCB with ETU860M — motor protection at 40 A
The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2140-0MQ32-0AA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) designed specifically for motor protection, carrying a continuous rated current of 40 A that holds flat across the full operating temperature range from 40 °C up to 70 °C — no derating curve to calculate for panel internal heat rise. Its ETU860M electronic trip unit offers adjustable trip classes (10A, 10/10E, 30/30E) and includes phase failure detection, ground-fault monitoring via summation current formation on the L-conductor, and a communication function.
Power loss is 1.2 W maximum at rated current — negligible heat contribution inside a sealed enclosure.
