The 3-pole design with no auxiliary contact version means you'll need to add an external auxiliary contact block if you want remote status feedback. ## What the trip unit does — ETU320 electronic release The ETU320 is an electronic overcurrent release with LSI protection curves (long-time, short-time, instantaneous). It gives you adjustable pickup and time-delay settings for selective coordination downstream — you can set the short-time delay so a feeder breaker clears a fault before this main breaker trips, keeping the rest of the bus live.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-5HL32-0CA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 187 kA at 24","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5HL32-0CA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated current, 3-pole, 187 kA breaking capacity at 240 V, ETU320 release, undervoltage trip.
