Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2440-5HL32-0BH0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for continuous current Iu of 400 A at 40 °C, with a rated insulation voltage Ui of 800 V. Its interrupting capacity reaches 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415/440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 17 kA at 690 V — figures that govern its fault-clearing capability at the point of installation.

Above that, derate to 384 A at 55 °C, 376 A at 60 °C, 368 A at 65 °C, and 360 A at 70 °C. Maximum power loss is 66 W. If the panel ambient exceeds 50 °C, the continuous current must be reduced per these values — the breaker does not self-derate.

Dimensions: 248 mm height, 138 mm width, 110 mm depth. The 138 mm width across three poles is standard for this frame size — verify the backplate cutout and door cutout against the existing panel layout. The breaker accepts lug or busbar connections; the auxiliary contact block (2 aux + 1 alarm) is factory-integrated. No communication module or phase-failure detection is fitted on this variant.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2440-5HL32-0BH0 at 415 V?

121 kA at 415 V AC, and the same at 440 V. At 500 V it drops to 75.6 kA, and at 690 V to 17 kA.

What auxiliary contacts are included on 3VA2440-5HL32-0BH0?

Two auxiliary switches plus one trip alarm switch (HQ version).

Where can I buy 3VA2440-5HL32-0BH0 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.

Will 3VA2440-5HL32-0BH0 drop into a panel designed for 3VA1110-5EE32-0DC0?

The 3VA2440-5HL32-0BH0 is a 400 A frame with 138 mm width and 110 mm depth; the 3VA1110-5EE32-0DC0 is a smaller frame. Panel cutouts and busbar spacing differ — verify the mounting footprint and lug centers before substitution.
