Product details

The adjustable thermal overload range starts at 8 A and goes to the 40 A full-scale value, giving you a wide window to match the motor FLA without swapping breaker frames.

Interrupting capacity — what those kA numbers mean for your panel

This breaker delivers 330 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V, dropping to 242 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then 187 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. For most 400 V class motor control centers, the 242 kA figure gives enormous headroom over typical 50-65 kA SCCR panels.

Protection and communication features

It also carries a communication function and an 'other measurement function' capability, which suggests it can report trip data and status over a bus, though the exact protocol isn't specified here. No undervoltage release is fitted, so if you need UVR for your safety circuit, that's an accessory add-on.

No trip indicator window on the front — you'll need to read the handle position or use the communication output for status.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2140-7MQ32-0AA0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. We source through independent distribution channels and confirm current pricing and availability at quote time — no automated stock figures here, because the market moves day to day.

What is the interrupting capacity of this MCCB at 415 V?

242 kA at 415 V, which is the same rating it carries at 440 V — plenty of headroom for standard 400 V class distribution panels.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3VA2140-7MQ32-0AA0?

As a current-production SENTRON MCCB, this breaker carries the standard Siemens compliance package including CE marking for the European market and UL/CSA certifications for North American installations. RoHS and REACH declarations are available through the manufacturer's documentation portal.
