Maximum power loss is 19.7 W, which keeps internal heating manageable and reduces the ventilation requirement in the enclosure. At 690 V the 4.5 kA rating still covers most industrial systems but confirms this breaker is not intended for high-fault 690 V main service. The ETU320 electronic trip allows adjustable long-time, short-time, and instantaneous settings for selective coordination downstream. ## Footprint and panel integration","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2216-5HL32-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, ETU320, 187","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2216-5HL32-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, ETU320 electronic trip, 187 kA at 240 V.
