The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2340-7HL32-0DA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 400 A continuous current at 40 °C through 50 °C, with a slight thermal derating curve down to 340 A at 70 °C. Its interrupting capacity hits 330 kA at 240 V AC, 242 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 187 kA at 500 V, and 7.5 kA at 690 V — meaning it can handle high-fault utility feeds or transformer secondaries without cascading upstream. This is a line-protection design (not a motor-protective breaker), so it's intended for feeder and distribution panels where you need selectivity and high short-circuit withstand.

Frequently asked questions
What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA2340-7HL32-0DA0 at 415 V?
At 415 V AC the interrupting capacity is 242 kA, matching the rating at 440 V. At 240 V it reaches 330 kA, and at 690 V it drops to 7.5 kA.
Does 3VA2340-7HL32-0DA0 include an undervoltage release?
Yes, it is equipped with an undervoltage release (UVR) as the auxiliary release, allowing the breaker to trip on loss of control voltage.
Where can I buy 3VA2340-7HL32-0DA0 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 — submit an RFQ for volume or project needs.
