The interrupting capacity is 187 kA at 240 V AC and 121 kA at 415 V / 440 V, which gives substantial SCCR headroom for high-fault installations like industrial substations or large switchboards. The 3VA2216-5HL32-0AD0 carries a 1 920 A maximum breaking capacity and a 240 A minimum, with the 187 kA at 240 V being the headline figure for North American 240 V delta systems. The 75.6 kA at 500 V and 4.5 kA at 690 V round out the voltage-dependent curve. For selectivity coordination downstream, the 160 A continuous rating and the 19.7 W maximum power loss help size the enclosure ventilation — especially in a sealed panel with multiple breakers.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2216-5HL32-0AD0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, 187","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2216-5HL32-0AD0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, line protection.
