That thermal curve means you size the breaker for the load at your enclosure's worst-case internal temperature, not the nameplate. Breaking capacity runs 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 79 kA at 500 V, and 5.1 kA at 690 V. At typical 400 V distribution, the 121 kA SCCR gives substantial headroom above most utility fault levels — coordination studies will clear without cascading upstream. Power loss is 19.7 W maximum at rated current — factor that into your enclosure thermal calculation, especially if the panel packs multiple breakers side by side. The ETU320 is a basic electronic trip unit; no communication function, no voltage trigger, no undervoltage release, no phase failure detection. It's a straight line-protection breaker, not a power-monitoring device.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2216-5HL32-0AH0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, ETU3","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2216-5HL32-0AH0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated, 3-pole, ETU320 electronic trip unit.
