Product details

Siemens 3VA2140-8JQ42-0AA0 — SENTRON MCCB, 40 A, 4-Pole, ETU560

Breaking capacity is the standout spec here: 440 kA at 240 V, 330 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 220 kA at 500 V, and still 52.5 kA at 690 V. That puts it into high-fault-current switchgear — think utility tie points, large transformer secondaries, or industrial mains where available fault current exceeds 100 kA.

Front-face protection is IP40, adequate for enclosed switchboards but not for washdown environments. The 1.2 W maximum power loss is low enough that ventilation requirements are minimal in a typical distribution panel.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2140-8JQ42-0AA0 at 415 V?

330 kA at 415 V, which is the same rating as at 440 V. At 240 V it reaches 440 kA, and at 690 V it still holds 52.5 kA.

What trip unit does the 3VA2140-8JQ42-0AA0 use?

It uses the ETU560 electronic trip unit, which supports ground-fault monitoring via summation current formation on L+N and includes a communication function for integration into a monitored distribution system.

Where can I buy 3VA2140-8JQ42-0AA0 and how is it quoted?
