3VA5240-7ED31-0AA0 - CFAS 40 Amp Circuit Breaker
The Siemens 3VA5240-7ED31-0AA0 is one of those breakers you use when you just need it to work—no guesswork, no constant adjustments. It’s a 40-amp, 3-pole unit built on the 3VA5 platform, designed for solid, everyday protection in commercial and industrial systems. What stands out here is the 100kA interrupting rating at 480V. That gives you a comfortable margin in higher fault environments, which is exactly where cheaper breakers tend to fall short. This one doesn’t. It handles overloads with a fixed 40A setting and trips instantly at 10 times the current when a short circuit hits. Simple, predictable, and effective. It’s not trying to be overly complicated—and that’s a good thing. You install it, wire it up, and it does its job in the background.
