Product details

Its interrupting capacity reaches 187 kA at 240 V and 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, dropping to 75.6 kA at 500 V and 7.5 kA at 690 V — the 690 V figure is the one to watch if your system runs at that voltage; it's still adequate for most industrial service-entrance applications but coordination studies need to confirm selectivity at the lower end.

The breaker holds its full 400 A rating up to 50 °C ambient; above that it derates linearly to 375 A at 55 °C, 350 A at 60 °C, 325 A at 65 °C, and 300 A at 70 °C. Dimensions are 248 mm high, 138 mm wide, 110 mm deep, which fits standard Siemens SENTRON mounting footprints; the 110 mm depth is shallow enough for most 400 mm deep enclosures without forcing a deeper can.

Auxiliaries and communication

It also includes a voltage trigger and a communication function — likely for remote monitoring or integration with a higher-level energy management system. No undervoltage release is fitted, so if your safety circuit requires UVR for machine isolation, you'll need to add it externally or spec a different variant.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional second-source to 3VA2340-5KP32-0JL0?

A direct drop-in replacement within the same SENTRON 3VA family would be a 3VA2 frame with the same 400 A continuous rating and 3-pole configuration, but the exact auxiliary and trip unit configuration differs — verify the shunt trip and communication functions match your BOM before substituting.

Will 3VA2340-5KP32-0JL0 drop into a panel specified around a smaller 3VA2 frame breaker?

The 248 mm height and 138 mm width match the standard SENTRON 3VA2 frame footprint, so it will physically fit the same mounting holes and bus connections as other 3VA2 breakers. The 110 mm depth is also consistent. No rewiring of the bus bars should be needed, but verify the lug kit matches your cable size.
