Product details

Breaking capacity — what it means for your fault bus

This breaker delivers 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, and still 55 kA at 440 V — numbers that put it in the high-interrupting class for industrial switchboards where fault current can stack from multiple transformers or parallel feeders.

Fit and panel integration

The 184 mm width × 248 mm height × 110 mm depth footprint matches the 3VA2 platform, so if you're replacing a failed unit or adding a feeder in an existing SENTRON lineup, the bus-bar centers and terminal positions line up without re-drilling the backplate. Comes with 2 auxiliary switches (HQ type) and a shunt trip (STL) pre-installed — no field-kit wiring for remote tripping or status feedback. The front face is IP40 rated, enough for a clean indoor panel; keep it out of washdown zones unless you add a cover.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2340-5KP42-0JC0 and get a price?

This part is available to quote through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ with your target quantity and delivery window; we confirm availability and current pricing at quote time — no automated stock figures here.

What is the closest functional second-source to 3VA2340-5KP42-0JC0?

The peer codes 5SQ2670-2YA06, 5SQ2670-2YA63, and 5SQ2670-2YA16 are functionally similar 4-pole MCCBs in the same current class, but the 3VA2 platform uses the ETU850 electronic trip unit with LSI curves and communication capability — the 5SQ series is a different trip architecture. Verify selectivity and auxiliary wiring before swapping.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA2340-5KP42-0JC0?

SENTRON circuit breakers carry UL 489, IEC 60947-2, and CSA C22.2 No. 5 certifications. RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Siemens documentation. The ETU850 release is UL-recognized for ground-fault alarm applications.
