Product details

This breaker delivers 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 40 kA at 690 V. The 40 kA at 690 V matters if you are feeding a 690 V motor control center; most MCCBs in this frame size drop off faster above 500 V.

Thermal derating — the real-world current you can run

Above that it derates: 375 A at 55 °C, 350 A at 60 °C, 325 A at 65 °C, and 300 A at 70 °C.

Auxiliaries and releases — what is built in and what is not

The integrated auxiliary trip is order code 3VA9688-0BL32. No undervoltage release is installed, and there is no ground-fault monitoring module — if you need GF protection, you add an external module or choose a different variant. The basic switch core is 3VA2340-6KP32-0AA0, so the -0JH0 suffix adds the shunt trip and the HQ auxiliary contact block.

That 110 mm depth is the front-to-back envelope including the arc chamber — measure your enclosure depth before ordering, especially if you are retrofitting into a panel originally designed for a shallower frame. The breaker mounts via the standard SENTRON 3VA base plate; no special adapter needed for most Siemens switchboard and distribution panel layouts.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2340-6KP32-0JH0?

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

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB at 415 V?

187 kA at 415 V, which is the same rating as at 440 V. At 240 V it reaches 242 kA.

What trip unit does the 3VA2340-6KP32-0JH0 use?

It uses the ETU850 electronic trip unit, which supports adjustable protection curves and communication.

Does this breaker include an undervoltage release or ground fault monitoring?

No. It has no undervoltage release and no ground fault monitoring module. It does include a shunt trip (STL) for remote opening.
