Product details

The 4-pole configuration covers three-phase plus neutral, with the N-conductor protection adjustable OFF, 50%, or 100% of the phase rating. The interrupting curve drops to 187 kA at 415 V, 85 kA at 440 V, 55 kA at 500 V, and 7.5 kA at 690 V. For a 400 A feeder on a 480 V system, you've got roughly 85 kA of SCCR headroom — enough for most industrial switchboards. The ETU350 release gives you adjustable long-time pickup (Ir), short-time pickup and delay (Isd, tsd), and instantaneous (Ii) settings, plus a ground-fault option if you add the module. The thermal derating curve is flat to 50 °C, then drops to 385 A at 55 °C and 340 A at 70 °C — so if the panel runs hot, you lose about 15% of the ampacity at the top end.

The 3VA2340-6HN42-0KF0 measures 248 mm tall, 184 mm wide, and 110 mm deep. That 184 mm width (7.2 inches) is a standard 4-pole MCCB footprint — it'll drop into the same DIN-rail or panel-mount cutout as other SENTRON 3VA 4-pole frames. The IP40 front protection means it's rated for indoor panel use where no washdown or dust ingress is expected.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting capacity at 480 V?

At 440 V it's rated 85 kA; at 500 V it's 55 kA. For a 480 V system, the 85 kA rating at 440 V is the closest published figure — expect similar headroom.

Where can I buy the 3VA2340-6HN42-0KF0 and get a price?

This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing — no stock count or price is published here.

What does the ETU350 release let me adjust?

The ETU350 is an electronic trip unit with adjustable long-time pickup (Ir), short-time pickup and delay (Isd, tsd), and instantaneous (Ii) settings. The N-conductor protection can be set OFF, 50%, or 100% of the phase rating.

Will this drop into a panel designed for a 5SQ2670-2YA16?

The 3VA2340-6HN42-0KF0 is a SENTRON 3VA frame MCCB; the 5SQ2670-2YA16 is a different Siemens series. The footprint and mounting may differ — verify the cutout dimensions and bus bar spacing before substituting.
