The interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, and still delivers 75.6 kA at 500 V, so it handles high-fault utility feeds and large motor branch circuits. The 3VA2216-5MN32-0DH0 measures 105 mm wide, 181 mm high, and 86 mm deep — a standard SENTRON 3VA frame size that fits the typical DIN-rail or backplate layout in a motor control center. The 3-pole footprint matches the same cutout as other 160 A SENTRON breakers, so swapping a different 3VA unit into an existing panel is straightforward. The undervoltage release (UVR) is factory-fitted; verify control voltage matches the coil rating before energizing. The 160 A continuous rating at 70 °C is unusual — most MCCBs derate above 40 °C, but this one holds full current all the way up. The undervoltage release (UVR) means the breaker opens automatically when control power drops below the dropout threshold, a common requirement for safety circuits and emergency-stop chains. The auxiliary switches (2 form-C + 1 trip alarm) feed status back to the controller without needing a separate contactor block.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2216-5MN32-0DH0 SENTRON MCCB, 160A, 3-Pole, Motor","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2216-5MN32-0DH0 molded case circuit breaker, 160A rating, 3-pole, motor protection design with undervoltage release and 187 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V.
