Product details

Breaking capacity — what those kA numbers mean for your panel

This MCCB carries a breaking capacity of 440 kA at 240 V, 330 kA at 415 V, and 220 kA at 500 V. At 690 V it still clears 52.5 kA. The 240 V figure (440 kA) is the highest short-circuit current this breaker will ever see and still open; at 415 V you still get 330 kA, which covers most European industrial mains.

Above that it derates: 241 A at 55 °C, 232 A at 60 °C, 222 A at 65 °C, 213 A at 70 °C. Plan your load so it doesn't exceed the derated number at your actual ambient; otherwise nuisance tripping or a melted lug is on you, not the breaker.

Physical fit — panel integration

The 3-pole footprint matches other SENTRON 3VA2 breakers in the same current range, so if you're swapping from a similar frame, the busbar and wire routing should line up without re-drilling. The shunt trip and auxiliary switches add depth behind the panel — account for the 86 mm plus wiring clearance when sizing the enclosure.

Frequently asked questions

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for this MCCB?

The SENTRON 3VA2 series carries UL, CSA, CE, and IEC certifications. RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Siemens on request — the breaker itself is designed for global industrial use.
