That 187 kA figure drops to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then to 79 kA at 500 V, and finally to 5.1 kA at 690 V — the SCCR curve tells you where this breaker has real fault-clearing headroom and where it doesn't. ## Thermal derating — the real continuous rating at your panel temp At 55 °C it derates to 154 A, at 60 °C to 148 A, at 65 °C to 142 A, and at 70 °C to 136 A. If your panel ambient runs 65 °C, you're sizing for 142 A continuous, not 160 A. ## Physical fit — panel cutout and mounting The undervoltage release and ETU320 are factory-integrated, so no field-kit assembly needed.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2216-5HL32-0DH0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, 187","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2216-5HL32-0DH0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated continuous current, 3 poles, 187 kA interrupting at 240 V.
