The 440 kA interrupting rating at 240 V and 330 kA at 415 V mean this breaker can sit at the main or a high-fault subfeed without cascading upstream, even on a 400 V industrial service where available fault current runs high. That is rare in this frame size; most MCCBs start shedding amps above 40 °C. The ETU550 is a communicating trip unit, so the breaker can report load current and alarm status over the SENTRON communication bus — useful for a BMS or SCADA tie-in without adding a separate current transformer. The 86 mm depth and 105 mm width fit a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint on a DIN rail or panel-mount base; the 181 mm height clears most 200 A switchgear enclosures without a gutter extension.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-8JP32-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, ETU5","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-8JP32-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker. 160 A continuous, 3-pole, ETU550 electronic trip. 440 kA at 240 V. 86 mm depth.

The 86 mm × 105 mm × 181 mm dimensions are standard for a 3-pole 160 A frame, so the physical footprint should match, but the ETU550 trip unit wiring and communication bus differ from the earlier 5SQ2 electronics. Verify the control wiring and trip-unit programming before swapping — the line and load lugs will fit, but the auxiliary and communication connections may not pin out identically."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA2116-8JP32-0AA0","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA2116-8JP32-0AA0 when reusing this data.
