Product details

What this 400 A MCCB does for your main feeder

The interrupting ratings are serious: 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 40 kA at 690 V — so it handles high available fault current without cascading upstream. This breaker includes a communication function and comes with one auxiliary switch plus one trip alarm switch. The ETU560 trip unit gives you adjustable protection curves and a local trip indicator so when it does open, you know why.

Thermal derating — what 400 A really means at your ambient

At 55 °C it's still good for 375 A, at 60 °C for 350 A, and so on down to 300 A at 70 °C. If your switchroom runs hot, this gives you a clean derating curve to work with instead of guessing.

Frequently asked questions

What are the interrupting ratings for 3VA2340-6JQ32-0AG0?

242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 40 kA at 690 V. These are the maximum short-circuit currents the breaker can safely interrupt at each voltage level.

What trip unit does this MCCB use?

It uses the ETU560 electronic trip unit, which provides adjustable long-time, short-time, instantaneous, and ground-fault protection. The breaker also has a trip indicator and a communication function for remote monitoring.

Where can I buy 3VA2340-6JQ32-0AG0 and get pricing?

This part is sourced to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current pricing and availability — figures are confirmed at quote time. No stock count or price is published here.

Will 3VA2340-6JQ32-0AG0 drop into a panel spec'd around 5SQ2370-2YA05 without rewiring?

The 3VA2340-6JQ32-0AG0 has a 110 mm depth and 138 mm width, which is a standard MCCB footprint. The 5SQ2370-2YA05 family is a different frame series; while the Siemens is shallower, you need to verify bus-bar connection spacing and mounting hole patterns against your existing panel layout before assuming a direct swap.
