Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2440-6HN32-0AJ0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 400 A continuous at 40 °C through 70 °C — no derating needed across that range.

At 240 V the breaker interrupts 242 kA symmetrical; at 415 V and 440 V it holds 187 kA; at 500 V it drops to 121 kA; at 690 V it is still rated 9 kA. These are the maximum fault currents the MCCB can safely clear without welding or rupturing. For a 400 A feeder on a 480 V system the 187 kA rating at 415 V gives ample SCCR headroom for most industrial switchboards — coordination studies should verify the upstream transformer impedance and available fault current, but this breaker will not be the weak link in the chain.

The 3-pole footprint is standard for this class; verify the busbar or lug kit spacing matches the 138 mm width before panel layout.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB at 415 V?

187 kA at 415 VAC.

Where can I buy the 3VA2440-6HN32-0AJ0 and how is it quoted?

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

What is the continuous current rating of this breaker?

400 A continuous from 40 °C up to 70 °C ambient — no derating required across that range.

Does the 3VA2440-6HN32-0AJ0 include an undervoltage release or ground-fault monitoring?

No — it ships without auxiliary release and without ground-fault monitoring. It is a line-protection device only.
