Product details

That 400 A holds flat from 40 °C up to 50 °C; above that it derates: 385 A at 55 °C, 370 A at 60 °C, 355 A at 65 °C, 340 A at 70 °C. Breaking capacity steps with system voltage: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, 17 kA at 690 V. The overcurrent release is an ETU320 electronic trip unit — adjustable, not fixed-thermal, so you can dial in the long-time, short-time, and instantaneous pickup curves to coordinate with downstream breakers. The basic switch core is order code 3VA2340-5HL42-0AA0; the integrated auxiliary trip is 3VA9688-0BL32 — spare parts if you ever need to swap the mechanism.

Dimensions: 248 mm high, 184 mm wide, 110 mm deep. That 184 mm width on a 4-pole MCCB means the DIN-rail footprint is fixed — verify horizontal clearance in the enclosure before cutting the gland plate.

Frequently asked questions

Does 3VA2340-5HL42-0JA0 include an undervoltage release or auxiliary contacts?

No. This variant ships without an undervoltage release and without auxiliary contacts. It does include a shunt trip (STL) for remote opening. The overcurrent release is an ETU320 electronic trip unit.
