Product details

The interrupting ratings tell the real story: 330 kA at 240 V, 242 kA at 415 V, 242 kA at 440 V, 187 kA at 500 V, and still 52.5 kA at 690 V. For a 400 A main breaker in an industrial panel, that's the kind of SCCR that keeps the series rating simple. The electronic trip unit is an ETU350, which gives you adjustable long-time, short-time, instantaneous, and ground-fault protection curves. That matters when you're coordinating with downstream feeders and don't want nuisance trips on motor-start inrush. The undervoltage release (UVR) is built in — it drops the breaker if control power fails, which is a common spec for emergency-stop and safety circuits.

At 55 °C it's 385 A, at 60 °C it's 370 A, at 65 °C it's 355 A, and at 70 °C it's 340 A. If your panel runs hot, that derating curve is what you use to size the breaker correctly, not the 400 A nameplate. The integrated auxiliary trip is order code 3VA9608-0BB24.

Maximum power loss is 98.5 W at rated current — that's the heat you need to vent from the enclosure. It's not a number you see on every listing, but for a panel builder it decides whether you need forced ventilation or a bigger cabinet. Latching endurance is rated at 15,000 operations, which is typical for a main breaker that sees infrequent switching. That covers unheated warehouses and outdoor enclosures in most climates. The -40 °C storage minimum is the limit for cold-weather shipping and storage — don't let it sit in a frozen truck for weeks.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2340-7HN32-0CH0 and how is it quoted?

This MCCB 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 are the key ratings of 3VA2340-7HN32-0CH0?

Rated continuous current Iu is 400 A, rated insulation voltage Ui is 800 V, interrupting capacity is 330 kA at 240 V and 242 kA at 415 V. It's a 3-pole line-protection MCCB with an ETU350 electronic trip unit and built-in undervoltage release.

What is the depth of 3VA2340-7HN32-0CH0?

The depth is 110 mm. Combined with a width of 138 mm and height of 248 mm, it fits standard 3-pole MCCB mounting patterns and 300 mm deep enclosures.

Will 3VA2340-7HN32-0CH0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0?

No, it will not. The 3VA2340 is a 400 A frame on a different physical footprint than the 3VA1112 series. The 3VA1112 is a smaller frame (typically 100-160 A class) with different mounting dimensions and busbar spacing. You would need to rework the panel mounting and bus connections.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for this MCCB?

Siemens SENTRON 3VA series MCCBs carry IEC 60947-2 certification and typically include CE, UKCA, and EAC markings. RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Siemens' documentation portal. Specific UL/CSA listings depend on the exact variant — the standard 3VA line is UL 489 listed for North American installations.
