Product details

MCCB for 400 A line protection

Breaking capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V AC, then drops to 75.6 kA at 500 V and 9 kA at 690 V.

Verify gland-plate cutout against the 138 mm width before panel layout. Maximum power loss is 66 W at rated load. The 70 °C operating ceiling matches the top of the flat derating curve, so the breaker stays at 400 A right up to that limit.

The basic switch core is order code 3VA2440-5HN32-0AA0 — that is the bare switching module without auxiliary releases. The -0BC0 suffix adds the factory-fitted undervoltage release and two HQ aux switches, so it arrives ready for a panel that requires UVR on the line feeder. No communication function is built in (no Modbus, PROFIBUS, or Ethernet interface on this variant). If you need breaker-level energy monitoring or remote trip indication, look at the 3VA2 with communication module option.

Frequently asked questions

Does 3VA2440-5HN32-0BC0 include an undervoltage release?

Yes, it comes factory-fitted with an undervoltage release (UVR) plus two HQ auxiliary switches. The UVR trips the breaker on loss of control voltage.
