Product details

It's built for line protection in distribution panels where you need high interrupting capacity — 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415/440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and still 3.7 kA at 690 V. That kind of SCCR headroom means it can sit upstream of a fault without cascading, which is what you want when you're coordinating a main or a large feeder in an industrial switchboard.

Ratings that matter for the panel

That's unusual for an MCCB and simplifies panel thermal calculations. The ETU350 electronic trip gives you adjustable overload and short-time protection curves, plus the N-conductor protection can be set OFF or 100% — handy for 4-wire systems where you want to detect a lost neutral without nuisance tripping.

Power loss is only 1.6 W max, so heat buildup in a dense enclosure is negligible.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2140-6HN46-0AA0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. We source through independent distribution and confirm price and availability at quote time — no automated stock figures here.

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA2140-6HN46-0AA0?

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

Does 3VA2140-6HN46-0AA0 drop into a panel wired for 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0?

Both are 4-pole SENTRON MCCBs with similar frame sizes, but verify the mounting footprint and terminal spacing against your panel layout — the 140 mm width and 86 mm depth are the same class, but always check the drilling plan before committing the BOM.
