Product details

The 4-pole configuration handles three-phase plus neutral protection, common for main incomers or feeder breakers in 400 V distribution panels. Breaking capacity is 330 kA at 240 V, 242 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 187 kA at 500 V, and 7.5 kA at 690 V — the steep drop above 500 V means this breaker is sized for low-voltage main distribution, not 690 V motor circuits. The ETU350 is a programmable electronic trip unit with LSI (long-time, short-time, instantaneous) protection curves, adjustable via the front interface, so coordination studies can be dialed in without swapping trip packs.

Temperature derating — the real-world current

Above that, derate linearly: 385 A at 55 °C, 370 A at 60 °C, 355 A at 65 °C, and 340 A at 70 °C. If the panel ambient runs at 55 °C, the breaker delivers 385 A continuous — not 400 A.

Dimensions: 248 mm height, 184 mm width, 110 mm depth. The 184 mm width is for a 4-pole frame — verify the panel cutout or mounting plate accommodates that before committing the BOM.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2340-7HN42-0AA0 and how is it quoted?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2340-7HN42-0AA0 at 415 V?

242 kA at 415 V. The same rating applies at 440 V. At 240 V it is 330 kA; at 500 V it drops to 187 kA; at 690 V it is 7.5 kA.

What trip unit does this MCCB use?

An ETU350 electronic trip unit with LSI protection curves, adjustable via the front interface.
