Product details

The Siemens 3VA2140-5MN32-0JC0 is a 3-pole SENTRON molded case circuit breaker rated for 40 A continuous current at 40 °C, purpose-built for motor protection with the ETU350M electronic trip unit. That 40 A holds flat through 50 °C — only above 55 °C does it begin to derate, reaching 36 A at 70 °C, so in a warm panel you still get nearly full rating. The ETU350M includes phase failure detection, which is the main reason you reach for a motor-protection MCCB over a standard thermal-magnetic: it catches a lost phase before the motor overheats. Breaking capacity is the other headline: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 17 kA at 690 V.

Two HQ auxiliary switches are built in, so you get status feedback without an add-on module.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2140-5MN32-0JC0 at 240 V?

187 kA at 240 V, which is exceptionally high for a 40 A frame — it can clear a fault at the full available current of a large transformer secondary without upstream fusing.

Where can I buy 3VA2140-5MN32-0JC0?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution, with availability and current pricing confirmed at quote time.

What is the rated continuous current of this MCCB at 40 °C?

40 A at 40 °C, and it holds that rating flat through 50 °C. Derating begins at 55 °C (38.4 A) down to 36 A at 70 °C.

Does 3VA2140-5MN32-0JC0 include phase failure detection?

Yes, the ETU350M electronic trip unit includes phase failure detection — a key feature for motor protection that catches a lost phase before the motor overheats.
