Product details

Three poles, fitted with an ETU860 electronic trip unit. The ETU860 brings adjustable long-time (tr 0.5–25 s) and short-time (tsd up to 0.5 s) response values, plus ground-fault monitoring via summation current formation on the L-conductor. That makes it suitable for feeders where selective coordination and earth-leakage detection are required — common in process plant sub-distribution.

Rated breaking capacity is 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 3.8 kA at 690 V. At 690 V the capacity drops sharply to 3.8 kA, so verify your system's prospective fault current at that voltage before specifying.

Maximum power loss is 1.6 W — negligible for thermal budgeting inside a panel.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2140-6KQ32-0AA0 and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a request for quote (RFQ) to confirm current availability and pricing — no stock or price figures are published here.

Will 3VA2140-6KQ32-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2140-8JQ42-0AA0 without rewiring?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON 3VA2 breakers with the same 105 mm width and 86 mm depth, so the physical footprint and bus-bar centers match. The deciding difference is the trip unit and accessory configuration — the 6KQ32 carries an ETU860 with ground-fault monitoring, while the 8JQ42 variant uses a different trip system. If the panel was wired for the 8JQ42's specific auxiliary connections and neutral-sensing arrangement, verify compatibility before swapping; the mounting hole pattern and main power terminals are identical.
