Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2340-5HL32-0DC0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated 400 A continuous at 40 °C, with a maximum interrupting capacity of 187 kA at 240 V. At 415 V and 440 V the SCCR holds at 121 kA; at 690 V it drops to 7.5 kA, so for 690 V applications verify the available fault current stays under that threshold. The continuous current rating is flat at 400 A from 40 °C through 50 °C, then derates linearly to 340 A at 70 °C. That thermal curve is the one that governs real-world panel loading — if your enclosure ambient runs at 60 °C, plan for 370 A, not 400 A.

The breaker measures 248 mm high by 138 mm wide by 110 mm deep — a standard footprint for a 400 A frame in the SENTRON 3VA platform. It mounts via four screws to a backplate or DIN-rail adapter (not included); the 138 mm width leaves room for side-by-side mounting in a multi-breaker lineup, though thermal derating should be recalculated when breakers are ganged without spacing. Maximum power loss is 98.5 W at rated load — that heat must be vented or accounted for in the enclosure's thermal budget.

Frequently asked questions

What does the undervoltage release do on this MCCB?

The undervoltage release (UVR) trips the breaker when the control voltage drops below a set threshold — used for emergency stop circuits or to prevent automatic reclosing after a power loss.
