At 415/440 V the 121 kA still clears most industrial service-entrance faults without cascading upstream. For a 400 V panel, the 121 kA rating gives solid selectivity headroom against downstream MCCBs. ## Auxiliary and release configuration — what ships on the breaker That means you get two Form C contacts for status feedback, one contact that changes state only when the breaker trips on fault (not manual off), and a fourth contact for the electrical alarm. The basic switch assembly is order code 3VA2216-5HL32-0AA0, which is the bare breaker without auxiliaries — this -0HL0 variant is the fully loaded version. ## Physical fit — dimensions for panel layout That 105 mm width is the standard 3-pole SENTRON 3VA2 footprint — it fits the same mounting cutout and busbar spacing as other 3VA2 three-pole frames, so a panel laid out for a 160 A 3VA2 will accept this unit without redrilling the backplate or relocating the bus stack. The 86 mm depth is the overall body, not including handle projection; account for the rotary handle throw in the door cutout.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2216-5HL32-0HL0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, Line","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2216-5HL32-0HL0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, line protection.
