Product details

MCCB for high-fault panels — 40 A, 242 kA

The interrupting capacity hits 242 kA at 240 V and 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, dropping to 121 kA at 500 V and 3.7 kA at 690 V — this is a high-fault-rated MCCB sized for transformer secondaries, large motor control centers, or main feeders where available fault current is well above standard 25/36 kA breakers.

Current rating holds flat to 70 °C — no derate needed

Mounts on standard DIN rail. Dimensions are 105 mm wide (4.13 in), 181 mm tall (7.13 in), 86 mm deep (3.39 in) — that 86 mm depth includes the handle and terminals, so check gland-plate clearance on shallow enclosures. IP40 on the front face; the body is open to the panel interior for heat dissipation.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2140-6HN36-0AA0 and how is it quoted?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

Will 3VA2140-6HN36-0AA0 drop into a panel built around 3VA2163-8HM32-0AA0 without rewiring?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON 3VA2 MCCBs on the same DIN-rail footprint, so the mechanical fit and bus-bar spacing are identical. The difference is the trip unit and rating — 3VA2163-8HM32-0AA0 is a higher-current variant with a different electronic release. Verify the load current and trip curve before swapping.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3VA2140-6HN36-0AA0?

Standard SENTRON MCCB documentation includes RoHS and REACH declarations, plus IEC 60947-2 and UL 489 certifications. Specific certificates are available on request.
