That flat thermal curve simplifies panel sizing in warm enclosures or near motor starters. Its interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V. For a motor protection breaker, that SCCR headroom means it can sit upstream of a variable-frequency drive or across a high-fault utility feed without cascading coordination issues. No auxiliary switch is fitted; the UVR is the only auxiliary release on this variant. The 86 mm depth includes the arc-chamber housing; verify clearance for the rear terminals and any auxiliary wiring trough. Maximum power loss is 22.2 W, which is moderate for a 160 A frame. ## Environmental limits and storage The storage limits exceed the operating range — that governs handling during transport and warehouse hold, not running conditions.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2216-5MN32-0DA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, Moto","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2216-5MN32-0DA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated at 40-70°C, 187 kA at 240 V interrupting capacity.
