The 3VA2216-5JP32-0AA0 includes a communication function, meaning it can talk to your control system for metering and status — useful for condition monitoring without adding a separate power meter. The 3VA2216-5JP32-0AA0 measures 105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, and 86 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint that drops into most SENTRON panelboards and distribution blocks. ## Trip unit and protection range The ETU550 is an electronic trip unit with a 240 A minimum to 1 920 A maximum continuous current adjustment band — that is a 8:1 range, giving you flexibility to re-rate the breaker for different loads without swapping hardware. The line protection design (no ground-fault monitoring version) means it is intended for feeder and main breaker duty, not equipment ground-fault protection.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2216-5JP32-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160A, ETU550, 3-Pol","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2216-5JP32-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, ETU550 electronic trip, 3-pole, 187 kA at 240 V.

The key difference is the 3VA2116 frame lacks the communication function present on the 3VA2216. Both share the same 3-pole, line-protection design and interrupting ratings, so the 3VA2116 can drop into the same panel footprint if you do not need the communication interface."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA2216-5JP32-0AA0","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA2216-5JP32-0AA0 when reusing this data.
