Product details

It carries a 187 kA interrupting rating at 240 V, dropping to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, and 75.6 kA at 500 V — enough headroom for most industrial main or feeder breakers in a 480 V panel.

Above 50 °C it steps down: 375 A at 55 °C, 350 A at 60 °C, 325 A at 65 °C, 300 A at 70 °C. It also supports communication — the breaker has a communication function, so it can talk to a BMS or SCADA system for remote monitoring and trip-event logging. An undervoltage release (UVR) is built in — part number 3VA9608-0BB11 for the integrated auxiliary trip. If your safety circuit needs to drop the breaker on loss of control voltage, that release is already specified.

The breaker measures 138 mm wide by 248 mm tall by 110 mm deep — a standard SENTRON 3VA frame size for 400 A. The 110 mm depth leaves room for cable bending radius in a 600 mm deep enclosure. Maximum power dissipation is 98.5 W at rated current.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2340-5JP32-0BH0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. Pricing and stock are confirmed at quote time; we source through independent distribution channels and can provide a firm quote with lead time.

What is the closest functional second-source to 3VA2340-5JP32-0BH0?

The 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0 is a smaller-frame SENTRON MCCB (125 A class) and does not match the 400 A rating or the ETU550 trip unit. For a 400 A main breaker with electronic trip and communication, this 3VA2340-5JP32-0BH0 is the direct fit — no drop-in substitute from the 3VA1 family exists at this current level.

What is the depth of 3VA2340-5JP32-0BH0?

The depth is 110 mm. That's the dimension from the mounting surface to the front of the breaker, including the rotary handle.

What is the width of 3VA2340-5JP32-0BH0?

The width is 138 mm. That's the panel cutout or DIN-rail footprint for this 3-pole frame.

Will 3VA2340-5JP32-0BH0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0 without rewiring?

No. The 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0 is a 125 A frame with different mounting dimensions and lug sizes. The 3VA2340-5JP32-0BH0 is a physically larger 400 A frame — you would need to rework the bus bars, cable lugs, and possibly the enclosure cutout.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA2340-5JP32-0BH0?

Siemens SENTRON breakers carry IEC/EN 60947-2 certification and are typically UL 489 listed for the North American market. RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Siemens documentation. Specific approvals for this order code should be verified against the datasheet or certificate.
