Product details

Its 3-pole design handles three-phase systems up to 690 V, with interrupting capacity that drops from 187 kA at 240 V to 121 kA at 415 V and 7.5 kA at 690 V. The 400 A continuous rating holds through 50 °C (–); above that it derates to 385 A at 55 °C and 340 A at 70 °C, which matters if you are packing it into a warm enclosure without forced cooling.

The 110 mm depth clears most 200 mm-deep enclosures with room for rear-connected busbars. Maximum power loss is 96 W at full rated current; factor that into your thermal budget if the breaker is enclosed with other heat sources. If you need those options, you step up to a different variant in the 3VA2 family.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2340-5HN32-0AC0 and what is the lead time?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm lead-time and price.

What is the closest functional alternative to 3VA2340-5HN32-0AC0?

The 3VA2225-5HN42-0BB0 is a smaller-frame SENTRON MCCB rated at 250 A, not 400 A, so it does not drop into a 400 A feeder without downsizing the circuit. For the same 400 A frame, the basic switch variant 3VA2340-5HN32-0AA0 is the same breaker without the factory auxiliary switches — a direct mechanical and electrical fit.

What compliance documentation does this breaker carry?

As a Siemens SENTRON MCCB, it is designed to meet IEC 60947-2 and UL 489 standards for molded case circuit breakers. Specific certificates (UL, CSA, CE, UKCA, EAC) are listed on the manufacturer's declaration — request the compliance pack with your RFQ.
