The 4.5 kA at 690 V is a reminder that at higher voltages the arc extinction is harder; this breaker is optimized for 400–480 V class systems, not 690 V main feeders.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2216-5MN32-0AC0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 187 kA at 24","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2216-5MN32-0AC0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A, 3-pole, motor protection, 187 kA at 240 V.
