3VA5340-7EC31-0AA0 - 400A Class CJAS 3-Pole Circuit Breaker Description
3VA5340-7EC31-0AA0 - 400A Class CJAS 3-Pole Circuit Breaker
The Siemens 3VA5340-7EC31-0AA0 is one of those breakers you spec when you don’t want surprises later. It’s a 400A, 3-pole unit from the 3VA5 line, built for solid, everyday protection in commercial and industrial setups. This one uses a thermal magnetic trip, so it covers both overloads and short circuits without getting complicated. The overload is fixed at 400 amps—no adjustments, no guesswork. On the short-circuit side, it trips in the 5 to 10 times range, which is pretty standard for this class and works well in most real-world applications. Where it really earns its place is fault handling. With a 100 kA rating at 480V, it’s suited for systems where available fault current is on the higher side. In other words, it’s built for environments where you actually need that level of protection—not just checking a box. Physically, it’s compact enough for a 400A frame, so it won’t fight you during install. Just note—lugs aren’t included, which is typical, but something to plan for.
