Product details

The 187 kA breaking capacity at 240 V AC means it can interrupt a massive fault without upstream fuses needing to clear first; at 415/440 V that drops to 121 kA, and at 690 V it's 3.7 kA — still enough for most industrial secondary-side applications. Line protection design (not motor or generator protection), so it's meant for feeder and distribution panels, not direct motor starting. That's unusual for an MCCB in this class; most start pulling back at 50 °C. For a panel sitting near a furnace line or in a hot enclosure, that's one less calculation on the load schedule.

The 3-pole block takes up three modular 35 mm DIN spaces (roughly 105 mm) if you're laying out a crowded sub-panel; check gland-plate clearance on the 86 mm depth if the enclosure is shallow.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB at different voltages?

187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V AC, 75.6 kA at 500 V AC, and 3.7 kA at 690 V AC.

What trip unit does the 3VA2140-5HK36-0AA0 use?

It uses the ETU340 electronic trip unit, which provides adjustable overload and short-circuit protection settings.
