Product details

It carries a full-scale value of 40 A and a minimum setting of 60 A, meaning the thermal-magnetic trip unit is adjustable down to 60% of the 40 A frame — useful for matching the breaker to a slightly smaller continuous load without swapping the frame. Breaking capacity is 440 kA at 240 V, 330 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 220 kA at 500 V, and 52.5 kA at 690 V — these are the maximum fault currents the breaker can safely interrupt at each voltage level, which matters for SCCR compliance in a panel.

Built-in communication and ground-fault monitoring

This MCCB includes a communication function onboard (: Yes), so it can talk to a higher-level control system — typically via PROFIBUS or PROFINET on the 3VA platform — for remote trip indication, load monitoring, and parameter readback. The ground-fault monitoring uses summation current formation on L+N conductors, meaning it measures the vector sum of phase and neutral currents to detect leakage to earth, without needing a separate core-balance CT.

Dimensions are 86 mm deep, 140 mm wide, 181 mm tall (3.39 x 5.51 x 7.13 inches). Verify the panel cutout and busbar spacing match before committing the BOM line.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2140-8KQ46-0AA0?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2140-8KQ46-0AA0 at different voltages?

Breaking capacity is 440 kA at 240 V, 330 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 220 kA at 500 V, and 52.5 kA at 690 V. These values determine the maximum fault current the breaker can safely interrupt at each system voltage.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA2140-8KQ46-0AA0?

As a Siemens SENTRON product, this MCCB is designed to meet IEC/EN 60947-2 standards for molded case circuit breakers. Typical documentation includes a CE declaration of conformity, RoHS and REACH compliance statements, and UL/CSA certification files depending on the exact variant. Specific document packages are provided at order confirmation.

Does 3VA2140-8KQ46-0AA0 include ground-fault protection?

Yes, it has ground-fault monitoring using summation current formation on the L+N conductors. This measures the vector sum of phase and neutral currents to detect leakage to earth without a separate core-balance CT.
