Product details

What this SENTRON MCCB delivers in the panel

The interrupting capacity hits 242 kA at 240 V and still holds 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, which means it handles high-fault utility feeds or transformer secondaries without cascading failure upstream.

Trip curve and thermal behaviour

The ETU550 electronic trip unit covers an adjustable current range from 60 A minimum to 480 A maximum — that wide band lets you set the breaker to protect a specific load rather than accepting a fixed factory calibration. Insulation voltage is rated at 800 V, giving you margin on 690 V systems where the interrupting capacity drops to 3.7 kA — that's the limit to watch if you're feeding a 690 V motor drive.

Communication and integration

This MCCB includes a communication function, meaning it can report status and trip events to a higher-level control system — useful for a cold-storage plant where you want remote indication of a breaker trip in a freezer without sending a technician to the panel. No ground-fault monitoring is built in; that would require a separate module or a different variant.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA2140-6JP46-0AA0 at 240 V?

It interrupts 242 kA at 240 V, dropping to 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, and 121 kA at 500 V.

How do I get pricing and availability for 3VA2140-6JP46-0AA0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing; the part is quoted to order with current pricing and availability confirmed at quote time through independent distribution.

Will 3VA2140-6JP46-0AA0 fit in a panel designed for 3VA2140-8JQ32-0AA0?

Both share the same SENTRON 3VA physical footprint (181 x 140 x 86 mm), so the cutout and mounting holes are identical — no rewiring of the backplate needed.
