Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2340-5HL32-0DH0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 400 A continuous current (at 40 °C through 50 °C) and designed for line protection. It carries a breaking capacity of 187 kA at 240 VAC and 121 kA at 415 VAC — figures that cover high-fault utility feeds and large motor branch circuits without cascading upstream. The breaker includes an undervoltage release (UVR) and comes with 2 auxiliary switches plus a trip alarm switch (HQ) factory-integrated.

Panel integration and footprint

Dimensions: 248 mm high, 138 mm wide, 110 mm deep. That's a standard SENTRON 3VA2 frame footprint — it bolts into the same mounting holes as other 3VA2 3-pole breakers in the 400 A class. The 110 mm depth leaves room for rear-connected busbars or a cable-entry gland plate in a 600 mm deep enclosure. Power loss at full load is 98.5 W; factor that into your thermal budget if the breaker shares a compartment with other heat sources.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2340-5HL32-0DH0?

Submit an RFQ — the part is sourced to order through independent distribution, and pricing and lead time are confirmed at quote time.

Will 3VA2340-5HL32-0DH0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1020-2ED32-0DD0 without rewiring?

No — the 3VA1020-2ED32-0DD0 is a different frame size (100 A class, different mounting footprint). The 3VA2340-5HL32-0DH0 is a 400 A frame; verify the busbar spacing and enclosure cutout before substitution.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA2340-5HL32-0DH0?

Siemens SENTRON MCCBs typically carry UL 489, IEC 60947-2, and CE marking. RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Siemens documentation portal. The evidence does not list specific certs for this order code — confirm with the supplier at quote time.
