Product details

This means it's set up to handle the inrush and overload profile of a motor load — not just a resistive heater — with phase failure detection built in so a single-phase condition doesn't cook the winding.

This breaker clears 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. The 9 kA at 690 V tells you it's not meant for 690 V primary distribution, but at 400/415 V it's well above typical panel SCCR requirements.

Thermal performance and derating

That's a solid thermal design; many MCCBs start tapering off above 50 °C.

Auxiliaries and releases

Depth of 110 mm keeps it clear of shallow gland plates.

Frequently asked questions

Who supplies 3VA2440-5MN32-0HC0 and how is it quoted for volume purchases?

This part is supplied through independent distribution; it is quoted to order against an RFQ, with availability and current pricing confirmed at quote time.

Will 3VA2440-5MN32-0HC0 drop into a panel that was specified around 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0 without rewiring?

The 3VA2440-5MN32-0HC0 is a 3-pole MCCB with a 138 mm width and 110 mm depth — a larger frame size than the 3VA2116 series. It will not fit the same mounting footprint or bus connections without panel modifications.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA2440-5MN32-0HC0?

Siemens SENTRON MCCBs typically come with UL, CSA, CE, and IEC certifications, plus RoHS and REACH declarations. Specific documentation for this order code should be confirmed at quote time.
