Product details

This is a straight line-protection breaker: you feed it, it protects, no auxiliary brains. Breaking capacity varies sharply with system voltage: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 17 kA at 690 V.

Above that it derates: 384 A at 55 °C, 376 A at 60 °C, 368 A at 65 °C, 360 A at 70 °C. The 138 mm width across three poles is standard for this frame size — it occupies one 138 mm-wide slot in a SENTRON distribution panel or a standalone enclosure. Maximum power loss is 63.5 W; factor that into your enclosure thermal budget if you're stacking several breakers.

Auxiliary contacts and lifecycle

The auxiliary release slot is empty; if you need a shunt trip or UVR, you'd order a different suffix.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2440-5HL32-0AB0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. Pricing and lead time are confirmed at quote time based on current distributor stock and factory allocation. Availability is quoted to order against your requested quantity.

What are the key ratings for this 400 A MCCB?

Rated continuous current Iu is 400 A, rated insulation voltage Ui is 800 V, and the breaking capacity reaches 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. It uses an ETU320 electronic trip unit and is a 3-pole line-protection breaker.

What is the depth of this breaker?

The depth is 110 mm. Overall dimensions are 248 mm high by 138 mm wide by 110 mm deep.

Does this breaker include auxiliary contacts?

Yes, it ships with two auxiliary switches (HP type) integrated. There is no separate auxiliary release (shunt trip or undervoltage) included — that slot is empty on this variant.
