Product details

The SENTRON 3VA2440-5HN32-0BH0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated 400 A continuously from 40 °C through 70 °C — no derating in a warm panel. The 4800 A frame gives it the mechanical stiffness to handle high-fault energy: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 9 kA at 690 V. That covers most industrial service-entrance and feeder applications where the utility transformer or on-site generator can deliver those fault levels.

The auxiliary and alarm contacts give the PLC a status signal without an external interposing relay. No ground-fault monitoring module is fitted on this order code; if GF protection is needed, it must be added externally or specified as a different variant.

Physical fit and panel space

That width is a 3-pole MCCB footprint — it occupies three adjacent 45 mm-wide DIN positions or a dedicated mounting plate. The 110 mm depth leaves clearance behind a standard 200 mm-deep enclosure backpan.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2440-5HN32-0BH0 and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

What is 3VA2440-5HN32-0BH0's listed depth (110 mm) on this component line?

The listed depth is 110 mm (4.33 in). That leaves clearance behind a standard 200 mm-deep enclosure backpan.

What is 3VA2440-5HN32-0BH0's listed width (138 mm) on this component line?

The listed width is 138 mm (5.43 in). That is the 3-pole MCCB footprint — it occupies three adjacent 45 mm-wide DIN positions.

Will 3VA2440-5HN32-0BH0 drop into a panel that was specified around 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0 without rewiring?

No — the 3VA2440 is a 400 A, 4800 A frame breaker; the 3VA2116 is a different frame size. The mounting footprint, bus-bar spacing, and terminal layout differ. A panel built for the 3VA2116 frame cannot accept the 3VA2440 without mechanical modification and re-bussing.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA2440-5HN32-0BH0 (RoHS, REACH, UL, IEC)?

As a SENTRON product from Siemens, this MCCB carries the manufacturer's standard declarations of conformity for IEC/EN 60947-2 and UL 489. RoHS and REACH compliance documentation is available from Siemens on request. The evidence does not list specific cert numbers — verify the exact certification scope needed for your jurisdiction at order time.
