The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2340-6KP32-0DL0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 400 A continuous current, carrying a 242 kA breaking capacity at 240 V and 187 kA at 415 V — numbers that tell you it handles high-fault utility feeds without cascading upstream.
Footprint is 248 mm tall by 138 mm wide by 110 mm deep — standard SENTRON 3VA2 frame size. The undervoltage release (UVR) is also built in, so you get automatic dropout on voltage loss without a separate shunt trip module.
