Product Description

Siemens 3KX8340-9AE Fuse Cover Phase Barrier Kit for Superswitch 3KL83/3KA83

The Siemens 3KX8340-9AE is a Fuse Cover Phase Barrier Kit designed for the Siemens Superswitch 3KL83/3KA83 switch-disconnector range. Siemens accessory documentation specifically identifies this article as a Fuse cover phase barrier kit, not as a standalone auxiliary switch.

Important product-identification note: the supplied product title describes 3KX8340-9AE as an Auxiliary switch (1NO+1NC), but Siemens documentation lists the exact article under Fuse cover phase barrier kit. The corresponding 1NO+1NC auxiliary switch for the 3KL83/3KA83 family is 3KX3552-1YC.

For SB Smart, the accurate product page should therefore identify 3KX8340-9AE as a Fuse Cover Phase Barrier Kit.

Siemens 3KX8340-9AE Fuse Cover Phase Barrier Kit

The 3KX8340-9AE belongs to the Siemens Superswitch 3KL8/3KA8 accessory range. It is specifically associated with the 3KL83/3KA83 family. Siemens' accessory table places it under Fuse cover phase barrier kit.

The kit combines the relevant fuse-cover and phase-barrier functions for the compatible Superswitch configuration.

Compatible Superswitch Family

The 3KX8340-9AE is specified for:

• 3KL83 series

• 3KA83 series

The Siemens accessory table shows 3KX8340-9AE in the 3KL83/3KA83 column, while the corresponding larger-family kit 3KX8440-9AE is specified for 3KL84/3KA84.

The exact Superswitch article should be checked before ordering to ensure mechanical compatibility.

Fuse Cover Function

The fuse-cover part of the kit provides a protective cover over the fuse area of the compatible switch-disconnector assembly.

A suitable fuse cover can help:

• Cover the fuse section

• Reduce accidental access to internal components

• Maintain the intended Superswitch configuration

• Support a cleaner switchgear assembly

• Provide the specified accessory arrangement for the compatible device

The actual protection level depends on the complete Siemens assembly and installation.

Phase Barrier Function

The phase-barrier part provides physical separation between adjacent phases within the compatible Superswitch assembly.

It can help:

• Separate adjacent conductive phases

• Maintain the intended insulation arrangement

• Support required electrical clearances

• Reduce the possibility of unintended contact between adjacent phase components

The accessory should be installed according to the relevant Siemens assembly instructions.

Fuse Cover Phase Barrier Kit

Unlike a simple fuse cover or phase barrier supplied as a separate accessory, the 3KX8340-9AE is identified by Siemens as a combined Fuse cover phase barrier kit.

This makes it useful when the compatible Superswitch requires the combined accessory arrangement rather than an individual cover or barrier.

Difference from 3KX8343-0AE

The 3KX8340-9AE and 3KX8343-0AE are different accessories:

3KX8340-9AE: Fuse cover phase barrier kit

3KX8343-0AE: Phase barrier

Both are associated with the 3KL83/3KA83 family, but their functions are different.

This distinction is important when selecting an exact replacement accessory.

Difference from the 1NO + 1NC Auxiliary Switch

The 1NO + 1NC auxiliary switch for the 3KL83/3KA83 family is 3KX3552-1YC. The Siemens accessory table lists this article separately from the 3KX8340-9AE kit.

Therefore, 3KX8340-9AE should not be marketed as an auxiliary switch unless a separate manufacturer source specifically confirms a different configuration.

Industrial Electrical Applications

The 3KX8340-9AE can be relevant for compatible:

• Industrial switchboards

• Electrical distribution panels

• Superswitch assemblies

• Low-voltage power-distribution equipment

• Switch-disconnector installations

• Fuse-protection assemblies

• Electrical maintenance applications

• Replacement accessory requirements

The accessory should only be used with the specified compatible Siemens switch-disconnector.

Replacement Accessory

The 3KX8340-9AE can be useful where the existing fuse-cover/phase-barrier arrangement on a compatible 3KL83/3KA83 Superswitch is damaged, missing or requires replacement.

Before ordering, verify:

• Exact Superswitch model

• Switch family

• Fuse configuration

• Accessory function

• Article number

• Mechanical compatibility

Siemens uses different accessory numbers for different Superswitch sizes, so exact model matching is important.
