It is designed specifically for motor protection, meaning its trip curve and release logic are tuned to handle the inrush and overload profile of a motor load — not just a distribution feeder. The ETU860M electronic overcurrent release gives you adjustable trip classes: 10A, 10/10E, 20/20E, and 30, so you can match the thermal memory to the motor's starting time and avoid nuisance trips on a cold start. The depth of 86 mm leaves clearance for rear-mounted busbars or a backplate in a typical 600 mm deep enclosure. ## Communication and monitoring functions The ETU860M release includes a communication function, phase failure detection, and other measurement functions. That means you can pull real-time load data and fault events into a control system — useful for predictive maintenance and reducing unplanned downtime on a continuous process line.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2216-0MQ32-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 440 kA at 41","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2216-0MQ32-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 440 kA breaking at 415 V.
