The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2340-7KP32-0AA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 400 A continuous current at 40 °C, with an ETU850 electronic trip unit. It's the line protection version — meaning it's configured for feeder and main breaker duty, not motor circuit protection. The 400 A rating holds steady from 40 °C up to 50 °C, then derates to 375 A at 55 °C, 350 A at 60 °C, 325 A at 65 °C, and 300 A at 70 °C. That thermal curve matters if you're stuffing this into a hot panel — the 400 A nameplate is only good if your enclosure ambient stays under 50 °C. Breaking capacity runs 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. That's a lot of fault current muscle at the lower voltages — typical for a main breaker on a large secondary substation or a high-capacity industrial feeder.
The IP40 front protection means it's fine for a closed panel; no special gasketing needed for the switch handle opening. The ETU850 trip unit supports communication and other measurement functions — so this breaker can talk to a higher-level monitoring system via the SENTRON communication modules. Neutral protection is adjustable from OFF to 20%–160% of the phase current setting. That's useful on 4-wire systems where you need to protect the neutral against harmonic currents.
