Product details

The Siemens 3VA2340-6HL32-0AH0 is a SENTRON 3VA2 molded case circuit breaker rated for 400 A continuous current (Iu) from 40 °C up through 50 °C ambient — no derating needed in a warm enclosure until you cross 55 °C. At 240 V it interrupts 242 kA, at 415 V and 440 V it holds 187 kA, and it still clears 121 kA at 500 V. That's a high-interrupting capacity frame for fault currents that would weld a standard MCCB's contacts shut.

Trip unit and protection logic

It's a line-protection breaker, not a motor-protection device.

It measures 138 mm wide, 248 mm tall, 110 mm deep — that's a three-pole frame that eats a full 138 mm of rail width, so plan your enclosure layout accordingly. At full 400 A load the maximum power loss is 96 W. That heat has to leave the enclosure; in a sealed stainless box you'll need forced ventilation or a bigger cabinet. IP40 on the front means tools and fingers stay out, but the body isn't sealed against dripping water — keep it inside the panel.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2340-6HL32-0AH0 and what is the lead time?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm lead-time and price.

What does the ETU320 trip unit do on this breaker?

The ETU320 is an electronic overcurrent release for line protection. It provides adjustable thermal and magnetic trip settings but does not include voltage triggering, ground-fault monitoring, or phase-failure detection — it's a basic protection trip unit for feeder and distribution applications.

What breaking capacity does this MCCB have at 240 V?

242 kA at 240 V. At 415 V and 440 V it's 187 kA, at 500 V it's 121 kA, and at 690 V it's 40 kA.
