Product details

The interrupting ratings tell you where it can sit without cascading upstream: 121 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 52.5 kA at 500 V, and 7.5 kA at 690 V. That 121 kA figure at 240 V covers high-fault service-entrance applications; the 75.6 kA at 415 V handles most European industrial mains. The breaker communicates (communication function yes), so it can report status or trip events to a BMS or PLC — useful for remote monitoring without a separate aux contact block.

Thermal derating — the real-world continuous current

Above that, the breaker derates linearly: 375 A at 55 °C, 350 A at 60 °C, 325 A at 65 °C, and 300 A at 70 °C. If your panel ambient sits at 55 °C, you lose 25 A of headroom — plan the load accordingly. The maximum power loss is 96 W, which adds to the enclosure's thermal budget.

Dimensions are 110 mm depth, 138 mm width, 248 mm height — a standard MCCB footprint for 400 A frames. The 138 mm width fits a three-pole breaker in a typical distribution section; the 248 mm height clears most deadfronts. Rated insulation voltage is 800 V, and the breaker operates between -25 °C and 70 °C, storing from -40 °C to 80 °C.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2340-4JQ32-0AA0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. The part is sourced to order through independent distribution; pricing and stock levels are confirmed at quote time.

What is the closest functional second-source for 3VA2340-4JQ32-0AA0?

The 3VA2225-5JQ32-0AK0 is a lower-current sibling in the same SENTRON 3VA platform, but the 3VA2340-4JQ32-0AA0 carries a 400 A frame versus the 3VA2225's 250 A class. Panel cutout and bus-bar spacing differ; verify the mounting footprint before swapping.

Will 3VA2340-4JQ32-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2225-5JQ32-0AK0 without rewiring?

Not without checking the bus-bar centres and lug sizes. Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs, but the 400 A frame is physically larger (138 mm wide vs the 3VA2225's narrower footprint). The terminal pads may also differ for the higher current rating.
