Product details

At 415 V and 440 V the rating holds at 187 kA, dropping to 121 kA at 500 V and 40 kA at 690 V, so match the system voltage to the available fault current when specifying. The ETU320 is a basic electronic trip unit — no communication, no voltage trigger, no phase-failure detection, no ground-fault monitoring. It's sized for straightforward line protection where you need adjustable overload and short-circuit curves without the complexity of a full metering trip. The 2 auxiliary switches (HQ version) provide status feedback to the PLC or SCADA without an add-on module.

Temperature derating — don't lose capacity at the panel door

Above that, the continuous current must be derated: 384 A at 55 °C, 376 A at 60 °C, 368 A at 65 °C, and 360 A at 70 °C.

Mounting and integration — panel footprint

Dimensions are 138 mm wide, 248 mm high, 110 mm deep. The 3-pole frame mounts on a standard backplate or DIN-rail adapter (not included). If you need remote tripping, plan for an external shunt or UVR module.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2440-6HL32-0AC0 at different voltages?

242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 40 kA at 690 V. These are the maximum fault currents the breaker can safely interrupt at each voltage level.

What trip unit does this MCCB use?

It uses the ETU320 electronic trip unit — a basic line-protection trip with adjustable overload and short-circuit settings, no communication or ground-fault monitoring.

Where can I buy 3VA2440-6HL32-0AC0?

The part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

Does 3VA2440-6HL32-0AC0 include auxiliary contacts?

Yes, it comes with 2 auxiliary switches (HQ version) for status feedback. No undervoltage release or shunt trip is included.
