Product details

What this 40 A MCCB brings to the panel

The interrupting rating at 240 V is 187 kA, which drops to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then 76 kA at 500 V, and 3.8 kA at 690 V. It carries the ETU850 electronic trip unit — that's the adjustable-release version, not a fixed thermal-magnetic. The N-conductor protection is adjustable from OFF through 40 % to 160 %, and the response time tr is settable from 0.5 s up to 25 s. That kind of adjustability matters when you're coordinating selectivity downstream or protecting a feeder that feeds mixed loads.

Fit and footprint

That depth is the critical dimension for enclosure clearance — 86 mm (3.4 in) means it fits standard 200 mm deep enclosures without the cover bumping the door.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2140-5KP42-0AA0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time through our independent distribution network. We source to order against an RFQ.

What is the depth of 3VA2140-5KP42-0AA0?

The depth is 86 mm (3.4 in). That's the dimension from the mounting surface to the front of the breaker — important for enclosure door clearance.

What is the width of 3VA2140-5KP42-0AA0?

The width is 140 mm (5.5 in). That's the standard 4-pole MCCB footprint for the 3VA platform.

Will 3VA2140-5KP42-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2140-8JQ42-0AA0 without rewiring?

Both are 4-pole 40 A SENTRON 3VA breakers with the same physical footprint (181 x 140 x 86 mm). The key difference is the trip unit: the -5KP42 uses an ETU850 electronic trip, while the -8JQ42 uses a different release. Mechanically they swap in the same mounting hole pattern, but the wiring and protective settings need verification because the trip curves differ.
