Product details

It carries a 187 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V and still holds 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V — that's extreme SCCR for a 40 A frame, meaning it can sit upstream of a high-fault panel without cascading failure.

Above 50 °C it rolls off gradually: 38.4 A at 55 °C, 37.6 A at 60 °C, 36.8 A at 65 °C, and 36 A at 70 °C. That 10% drop at the top end still leaves headroom for a 30 A motor load in a hot cabinet. The 75 W maximum power loss means you need to account for heat dissipation if the breaker is packed tight with other devices.

Built-in undervoltage release and auxiliary signaling

This variant includes an integrated undervoltage release (UVR) — no external module needed. The trip indicator on the front gives a local visual flag when the breaker has tripped on fault.

Motor protection with ETU350M

The ETU350M electronic trip unit is configured for motor protection — it includes phase failure detection (monitors all three phases) and an LSI trip curve (long-time, short-time, instantaneous). That means it can protect a motor against overload, short circuit, and single-phasing without a separate motor protection relay. The 20 000 latching endurance cycles reflect the mechanical life of the switching mechanism under normal operation.

Frequently asked questions

What is 3VA2140-5MN32-0BH0's interrupting capacity at 415 V?

It carries 121 kA at 415 V, which is typical for a high-fault industrial panel at 400 V class. That same rating holds at 440 V as well.

Does this MCCB include an undervoltage release?

Yes, the undervoltage release (UVR) is integrated into this variant — no external module or wiring needed. It also comes with 2 auxiliary switches and 1 trip alarm switch for remote signaling.

What thermal derating applies above 50 °C?

The breaker carries full 40 A up to 50 °C. Above that it derates: 38.4 A at 55 °C, 37.6 A at 60 °C, 36.8 A at 65 °C, and 36 A at 70 °C — about a 10% drop at the top end.

Where can I buy 3VA2140-5MN32-0BH0 and how is it quoted?
