Product details

It ships with a basic switch (3VA2340-6JP32-0AA0) as the supplied base unit. Thermal derating is published: the 400 A rating holds from 40 °C up to 50 °C, then drops to 375 A at 55 °C, 350 A at 60 °C, 325 A at 65 °C, and 300 A at 70 °C. Plan the enclosure ventilation accordingly if the ambient exceeds 50 °C.

Compared to the smaller 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0 (a 160 A frame), this 3VA2340 carries a 400 A frame with substantially higher breaking capacity — 242 kA vs the 160 A unit's lower ratings — so a panel originally specified for the 160 A breaker cannot simply drop in the 400 A version without checking busbar ampacity, lug size, and enclosure thermal limits.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2340-6JP32-0BC0 at different voltages?

Rated breaking capacity is 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V, 187 kA at 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 7.5 kA at 690 V. These values cover most industrial low-voltage distribution scenarios.
