The Siemens 3VA2440-5HM32-0AA0 is a SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 3-pole, rated 400 A continuous at ambient temperatures from 40 °C through 70 °C with no derating — that's a full 400 A all the way up to 70 °C, so you don't lose capacity on a hot panel floor or inside a crowded enclosure. The ETU330 electronic trip unit handles the overcurrent protection curve, and the breaker is rated for line protection duty (cable and busbar feeder protection, not motor starting). Breaking capacity is the headline: 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 9 kA at 690 V.
Panel fit and physical integration
Dimensions are 248 mm high, 138 mm wide, 110 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint for the SENTRON 3VA platform. If you need auxiliary contacts or remote indication, those are add-on accessories that clip onto the side or front.
