Here you can load it to 160 A even in a hot panel or enclosure without recalculating the cable or bus bar ampacity. ## Trip unit and communication capability That's useful if you're building a smart distribution panel or need to feed data into a building management system. There's no undervoltage release or voltage trigger on this variant, and no ground-fault monitoring module fitted. The trip indicator is also absent, so you'd rely on the communication function or a local ammeter to see the breaker state. ## Environmental limits The storage limit is the one that governs handling and warehousing — it's wider than the operating range, which is typical for breakers. No special climate-controlled storage needed as long as you stay inside those bounds.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2216-5KP42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 4P, ETU850","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2216-5KP42-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated, 4-pole, ETU850 trip unit, 187 kA at 240 V.

Submit a request through the storefront or contact the sourcing desk — we source this through independent distribution and can provide current pricing and lead time on request."},{"question":"What is 3VA2216-5KP42-0AA0's listed depth (86 mm) on this component line?","answer":"The depth is 86 mm (3.39 in). That's the front-to-back dimension including the case body but not the handle throw or any protruding communication module."},{"question":"What is 3VA2216-5KP42-0AA0's listed width (140 mm) on this component line?","answer":"The width is 140 mm (5.51 in). That's the panel cutout or DIN-rail footprint for this 4-pole frame."},{"question":"Will 3VA2216-5KP42-0AA0 drop into a panel that was specified around 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0 without rewiring?","answer":"The 3VA2216-5KP42-0AA0 is a different frame size (3VA2 vs 3VA1) with different dimensions and a higher continuous rating (160 A vs the 3VA1's typical lower ratings). It will not drop into the same footprint without panel modifications. Check the physical dimensions and bus bar connections before assuming interchangeability."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA2216-5KP42-0AA0 (RoHS, REACH, UL, IEC)?","answer":"Siemens SENTRON breakers are typically certified to IEC 60947-2 and UL 489 standards. RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Siemens documentation portals.
