The electronic trip unit is an ETU350M, which includes phase-failure detection — a key feature for protecting three-phase motor loads from single-phasing damage. ## Interrupting capacity and voltage levels The breaker's short-circuit breaking capacity varies with system voltage: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. At a 480 V industrial panel, that 121 kA rating covers most high-fault installations; the 690 V figure drops to 17 kA, so verify the available fault current if the breaker is applied on a 690 V line. The 160 A rating holds flat up to 50 °C ambient; above that it derates to 153.6 A at 55 °C, 150.4 A at 60 °C, 147.2 A at 65 °C, and 144 A at 70 °C. Maximum power loss is 75 W, so factor that into cabinet thermal calculations. ## Auxiliary contacts and environmental limits Front IP40. Latching endurance 20,000 cycles.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2216-5MN32-0AJ0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 187 kA at 24","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2216-5MN32-0AJ0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A, 3-pole, motor protection with ETU350M trip unit.
