Product details

400 A MCCB for high-fault panels

Its interrupting capacity hits 242 kA at 240 V AC and still holds 187 kA at 415/440 V, dropping to 121 kA at 500 V and 7.5 kA at 690 V — that SCCR headroom means it handles high-fault utility feeds without cascading upstream. Rated current holds flat at 400 A through 50 °C ambient; above that it derates to 385 A at 55 °C, 370 A at 60 °C, 355 A at 65 °C, and 340 A at 70 °C.

Panel fit and thermal management

That 138 mm width on a 3-pole frame is standard for SENTRON 3VA2 breakers — it bolts into the same bus-bar grid as other 400 A frames in the series.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2340-6HN32-0AC0 at different voltages?

At 240 V it interrupts 242 kA; at 415 V and 440 V it handles 187 kA; at 500 V it manages 121 kA; and at 690 V it is rated for 7.5 kA. These are the maximum fault currents the breaker can safely clear at each voltage level.

Where can I buy 3VA2340-6HN32-0AC0?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at the time of quote — submit an RFQ for your target quantity.

Does this breaker include auxiliary switches or a shunt trip?

It ships with two HQ-type auxiliary switches installed. There is no undervoltage release, no ground-fault monitoring, and no communication module — it is a straight line-protection MCCB.
