Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2340-5HN42-0KC0 is a 4-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 400 A continuous current at 40 °C, with the ETU350 electronic trip unit handling overcurrent protection. At 415 V and 440 V it still holds 121 kA, dropping to 75.6 kA at 500 V and 7.5 kA at 690 V, so the voltage class drives the real SCCR headroom you design around. Rated current holds flat at 400 A from 40 °C through 50 °C, then derates to 385 A at 55 °C, 370 A at 60 °C, 355 A at 65 °C, and 340 A at 70 °C.

The breaker measures 184 mm wide, 248 mm high, and 110 mm deep. That 184 mm width for a 4-pole frame is standard for SENTRON 3VA2 breakers — it'll drop into existing panel layouts designed for that footprint. No communication function onboard; this is a standalone protection device, not a networked power monitor.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2340-5HN42-0KC0 and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current pricing and availability — figures are confirmed at quote time.

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2340-5HN42-0KC0 at different voltages?

The breaker delivers 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. These are the interrupting ratings that determine fault-clearing capability at each voltage level.

Does this breaker have a trip indicator or undervoltage release?

No trip indicator and no undervoltage release are fitted on this variant. It does include a voltage trigger function and two HQ auxiliary switches.
