The ETU350 trip unit provides LSIG (long-time, short-time, instantaneous, ground-fault) protection curves — ground-fault monitoring is not fitted on this variant (the listing shows 'without'), so if you need GF protection you'd step to a -0A... suffix with the G function. At 690 V the 3.7 kA figure is a hard limit — do not assume the same fault-clearing capability at higher line voltages. ## Integration and panel fit Dimensions: 181 mm height, 140 mm width, 86 mm depth. The 140 mm width is the standard 4-pole MCCB footprint — it occupies four 35 mm DIN-rail modules (roughly 140 mm total).","metaTitle":"SENTRON 3VA2116-6HN42-0AF0 MCCB, 160A, 4-Pole, ETU350","metaDescription":"SENTRON 3VA2116-6HN42-0AF0 molded case circuit breaker, 160A max, 4-pole, ETU350 trip unit, 242 kA at 240 V.
