The ETU850 electronic trip unit handles line protection (overload and short-circuit) and includes a communication function for integration into a plant-wide monitoring scheme. ## Breaking capacity that keeps selectivity At 690 V AC the rating drops to 4.5 kA, which still covers most 690 V motor control center bus faults. ## Trip unit and neutral protection The N-conductor protection is adjustable from OFF through 20 % to 160 % of the phase setting — useful for 4-wire systems where the neutral may carry harmonics or unbalanced current.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2216-5KP32-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, ETU8","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2216-5KP32-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A, 3-pole, ETU850 release, 187 kA at 240 V.
