It is purpose-designed for motor protection, with integrated phase failure detection and a trip indicator that flags a fault event on the front face. At 690 V the rating drops to 4.5 kA — a reminder that this breaker is optimized for 400 V class systems, not 690 V drives. Maximum power loss is 19.7 W, so ventilation within the enclosure is advisable if multiple breakers are ganged. For BOM freeze or compliance documentation, the manufacturer provides RoHS and REACH declarations as standard for the SENTRON series. UL and IEC certifications apply to the 3VA2 platform, though specific listing numbers should be confirmed against the nameplate at receipt. ## Integration Notes for Panel Builders Mounting dimensions are 181 mm height, 105 mm width, 86 mm depth — allow clearance above and below for arc-chamber venting per Siemens installation instructions. No undervoltage release or shunt trip is fitted from the factory; the order code suffix -0AG0 indicates the basic switch variant without auxiliary releases. If undervoltage protection is needed, specify the -0AA0 base switch and add the release module separately. The breaker has no communication function and no ground-fault monitoring — it is a standalone thermal-magnetic or electronic-trip device for motor branch circuits.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2216-5MN32-0AG0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, Moto","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2216-5MN32-0AG0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous at 40-70°C, 121 kA breaking at 415 V.
