Product details

400 A MCCB with 242 kA interrupting capacity — line protection for high-fault panels

Above 55 °C it derates linearly to 300 A at 70 °C (–). The interrupting capacity peaks at 242 kA at 240 V, dropping to 187 kA at 415/440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 7.5 kA at 690 V. Communication function is onboard, enabling remote monitoring or integration into a plant-wide power management system.

Thermal performance and power loss

Maximum power loss is 98.5 W at full rated current.

Adjustable trip unit — 80 A to 400 A

The trip unit is adjustable from 80 A minimum to 400 A full-scale. That range lets you fine-tune the breaker to the actual load without swapping the frame — useful when the same panel design is deployed across multiple sites with different feeder sizes. No trip indicator and no voltage trigger on this variant; the UVR handles the voltage-based trip function.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2340-6JQ32-0BC0 and get a price?

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 price and lead time.

What is the depth of 3VA2340-6JQ32-0BC0?

The depth is 110 mm — the critical dimension for panel gutter clearance and busbar stack fit.

What compliance documentation is available for this MCCB?

As a Siemens SENTRON product, it carries UL, CSA, and IEC certifications standard for the series. Specific documentation (RoHS, REACH, UL file number) is available on request with the RFQ.

Will 3VA2340-6JQ32-0BC0 drop into a panel designed for 3VA2163-8JQ32-0AA0?

The 3VA2163-8JQ32-0AA0 is a different frame size (lower current rating). The 3VA2340-6JQ32-0BC0 has different dimensions and busbar connections — verify panel cutout and mounting hole pattern before substituting.
