Product details

Rated current and thermal performance

The 3VA2440-7HL32-0JC0 carries a 400 A continuous rating that holds flat from 40 °C up to 70 °C — no derating curve to calculate across that band. Frame size is 4800 A; adjustable trip range 600 A to 4800 A.

Interrupting capacity by system voltage

SCCR is 330 kA at 240 V, 242 kA at 415/440 V, 187 kA at 500 V, and drops to 9 kA at 690 V. At 690 V the breaker is effectively a load-break switch for fault-clearing; coordinate upstream if your system runs at that level.

Physical fit and accessories

Footprint is 138 mm wide × 248 mm high × 110 mm deep. Ships with a shunt trip (STL) auxiliary release and two HQ auxiliary switches installed. No undervoltage release, no ground-fault module, no communication function on this variant.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting rating of 3VA2440-7HL32-0JC0 at 415 V?

242 kA at 415 V and at 440 V. At 240 V it reaches 330 kA.

Where can I buy 3VA2440-7HL32-0JC0 and get current pricing?

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

Will 3VA2440-7HL32-0JC0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0?

No — the 3VA2440 is a 400 A, 4800 A-frame MCCB (138 mm wide × 248 mm high × 110 mm deep), while the 3VA1110 series is a smaller-frame breaker. Footprint, bus spacing, and mounting provisions differ; expect panel rework for a direct swap.
