For a 480 V panel (common in North America), the 121 kA at 440 V is the closest published figure; at 690 V the 4.5 kA rating tells you this breaker is not intended for high-fault 690 V service. The 160 A frame with those interrupting numbers suits it for main or feeder duty in high-available-fault-current industrial switchboards. The 86 mm depth includes the shunt trip mechanism; verify clearance behind the panel door for the STL wiring and any auxiliary switch if added later. Maximum power loss is 19.7 W at rated current. That's the heat the breaker dissipates internally — relevant for panel thermal calculations, especially in a sealed enclosure where multiple breakers cluster.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2216-5HL32-0JA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, Shun","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2216-5HL32-0JA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, shunt trip release.
