Product details

The breaker carries a full thermal derating curve: it holds 500 A from 40 °C through 50 °C, then steps down 5 A per 5 °C increment to 480 A at 70 °C, so no derating penalty in a warm panel until you cross 55 °C.

The ETU310M is an electronic trip unit with adjustable overload and short-circuit settings. Minimum trip setting is 750 A, maximum is 6 000 A, giving a wide band for coordinating with downstream feeders or motor starting curves.

Front IP40 protection means it is suited for enclosed panel mounting where no water ingress is expected.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2450-0MS32-0AA0 at 415 V?

440 kA at 415 V AC, and 187 kA at 690 V AC. This is the ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity (Icu) for the MCCB.

What trip unit does this MCCB use?

The ETU310M electronic overcurrent release, designed for motor protection applications. Adjustable from 750 A to 6 000 A.

Where can I buy 3VA2450-0MS32-0AA0 and how is it quoted?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm quote.

Will 3VA2450-0MS32-0AA0 fit a panel designed for 3VA2040-8HN42-0AA0?

The 3VA2450-0MS32-0AA0 uses a larger frame size than the 3VA2040 series (500 A vs lower current ratings). Physical dimensions differ — verify panel cutout and bus spacing before assuming drop-in compatibility.
