The interrupting ratings tell you where this breaker can be applied without cascading upstream: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 79 kA at 500 V, and 4.25 kA at 690 V (–). The ETU320 is a basic electronic trip unit with no communication, no voltage trigger, no undervoltage release, and no ground-fault monitoring. It is a straight thermal-magnetic replacement path — no bells, no bus. The auxiliary contact version is 2 switches HP, which is enough to signal the breaker state to a PLC or status lamp, but do not expect a shunt trip or alarm contact out of the box. ## Mounting and integration — fits standard MCCB footprint","metaTitle":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5HL32-0AB0 MCCB, 160A, 3-Pole, ETU32","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5HL32-0AB0 molded case circuit breaker, 160A rated, 3-pole, ETU320 trip unit.
