Product details

The Siemens 3VA2340-5HL42-0HC0 is a SENTRON molded case circuit breaker rated for 400 A continuous current at 40 °C through 50 °C, with thermal derating to 340 A at 70 °C. Its 4-pole configuration and line protection design make it a direct fit for main or feeder breaker duty in distribution panels. Short-circuit ratings hit 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 7.5 kA at 690 V — giving you selectivity headroom across common industrial voltage levels. The basic switch is order code 3VA2340-5HL42-0AA0.

Panel fit and thermal planning

The 96 W maximum power loss at full rating needs ventilation consideration in sealed enclosures.
