Product details

Its interrupting capacity hits 242 kA at 240 V and 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, so it handles high-fault utility feeds without cascading upstream. The 400 A rating holds flat from 40 °C through 50 °C, then derates to 375 A at 55 °C and 300 A at 70 °C — that thermal curve matters when you pack this into a warm enclosure. It ships with a shunt trip (STL) auxiliary release and a 2+1+1 auxiliary switch configuration (2 auxiliary switches, 1 trip alarm, 1 electrical alarm).

The breaker measures 248 mm high by 138 mm wide by 110 mm deep. That 110 mm depth is the projection from the mounting surface — check your gland plate clearance if you're back-panel mounting in a shallow enclosure.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional second-source — 3VA2225-5JQ32-0AK0?

The 3VA2225-5JQ32-0AK0 is a smaller-frame SENTRON MCCB (225 A frame vs 400 A). It will not drop into the same panel cutout or bus connection without rewiring — the 3VA2340 frame is physically larger. If you need the 400 A rating and 242 kA interrupting capacity, this is the correct frame size.

What is the depth of 3VA2340-6JQ32-0KL0?

The depth is 110 mm (4.33 in).

What is the width of 3VA2340-6JQ32-0KL0?

The width is 138 mm (5.43 in).

Where can I buy 3VA2340-6JQ32-0KL0 and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
