Product details

The Siemens 3VA2440-5JP42-0AA0 is a SENTRON molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 400 A continuous current across the full ambient range from 40 °C to 70 °C — no derating needed up to that ceiling. This is the breaker you spec for a main feeder or a large motor control center where you need selectivity and coordination downstream.

At 415 V and 440 V it holds 121 kA; at 500 V it's 75.6 kA; at 690 V it drops to 9 kA. The 690 V figure is the one to watch if you're feeding a 690 V drive line — you'll need to verify the available fault current at that voltage doesn't exceed 9 kA, or step up to a higher-rated frame.

The breaker measures 184 mm wide, 248 mm high, and 110 mm deep — a standard 4-pole MCCB footprint that fits most DIN-rail or panel-mount enclosures. The ETU550 supports communication (Communication Function: Yes), so you can pull trip data and status over the network without climbing the ladder.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting rating at 240 V?

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.

Where can I buy 3VA2440-5JP42-0AA0?
