Product details

The adjustable trip range spans 600 A to 4800 A, which gives you a wide selectivity window downstream. Interrupting capacity hits 330 kA at 240 V AC and still carries 242 kA at 415/440 V — that is serious fault-current headroom for a 400 A frame, meaning it can handle high-available-fault installations without cascading upstream.

Depth of 110 mm leaves enough finger clearance behind a gland plate for rear-connected bus bars or cable lugs.

The UVR drops the breaker when control voltage falls — common on safety circuits or emergency-stop chains where you want the main breaker to open on loss of control power. The trip alarm switch gives a positive signal that the breaker has opened on fault, not manually.

This order code carries a current-production lifecycle status. The basic switch variant is 3VA2440-7HL32-0AA0, which is the core breaker without the auxiliaries — so if you already have that base model in a BOM, the -0BH0 adds the UVR and alarm switch on the same frame.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2440-7HL32-0BH0 and get a price?

This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a request for quote; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the interrupting capacity of this MCCB at 240 V?

At 240 V AC the interrupting rating is 330 kA. At 415/440 V it is 242 kA, and at 500 V it is 187 kA. At 690 V the rating drops to 9 kA.

Will 3VA2440-7HL32-0BH0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2225-5HN42-0BB0?

No — the 3VA2225-5HN42-0BB0 is a smaller-frame 250 A MCCB with different dimensions and mounting footprint. This 3VA2440 uses the larger 400 A frame (248 x 138 x 110 mm) and will not mechanically interchange without re-drilling the mounting plate and re-terminating bus bars.
