Product details

Derating and thermal reality

The 400 A rating holds flat up to 50 °C ambient. Above that, the derating is gradual: 384 A at 55 °C, 376 A at 60 °C, 368 A at 65 °C, 360 A at 70 °C. That's a 10 % drop from 50 to 70 °C — typical for a molded-case frame of this size.

The UVR is a common safety requirement: if control power drops, the breaker opens. No voltage trigger, no shunt trip. The auxiliary switches are wired into the panel's status monitoring. The basic switch itself is the 3VA2440-6HL32-0AA0.

Frequently asked questions

Who supplies 3VA2440-6HL32-0BC0 and how is it quoted for volume purchases?

We supply it through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for volume pricing and lead time — availability and current price are confirmed at quote time.

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB 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.

Will 3VA2440-6HL32-0BC0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0?

No — the 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0 is a different frame size and rating. The 3VA2440 is a 400 A frame with a 138 mm width; the 3VA1112 is a smaller frame. Check the mounting footprint and bus bar spacing before substitution.
