Product details

Its interrupting capacity reaches 187 kA at 240 VAC and 121 kA at 415/440 VAC, tapering to 7.5 kA at 690 VAC — the 690 V figure governs the high-voltage end of the fault-current curve and is the one to check for 600 V class systems. The breaker includes a shunt trip (STL) release and 2 auxiliary switches plus a trip alarm switch (HQ), so it fits remote-trip and status-monitoring circuits without adding external relays.

Above that, it derates linearly: 385 A at 55 °C, 370 A at 60 °C, 355 A at 65 °C, and 340 A at 70 °C. If the panel ambient runs at 60 °C, the breaker effectively carries 370 A — plan the load side accordingly. Maximum power loss is 96 W, which matters for heat buildup in a sealed enclosure.

Dimensions: 248 mm high, 184 mm wide, 110 mm deep. The 110 mm depth is the dimension from the mounting surface to the front cover — important when the panel door clearance is tight.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2340-5HN42-0JH0 and get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current pricing and availability confirmation.

What are the interrupting ratings at different voltages?

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. The 690 V figure is the one to verify for 600 V class systems.

What is the depth of the 3VA2340-5HN42-0JH0?

The depth is 110 mm (4.33 in), measured from the mounting surface to the front of the breaker.
