That 160 A holds steady from 40 °C straight through 70 °C, which simplifies panel thermal budgeting when the enclosure runs hot. Interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V, dropping to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V. This is a motor-protection-design MCCB — it includes phase failure detection and the adjustable thermal-magnetic trip curve is set for motor starting inrush, not resistive loads. The basic switch variant is 3VA2216-5MN32-0AA0, and the order code adds a shunt trip (STL) plus two HQ auxiliary switches. That 105 mm width is the standard 3-pole MCCB slot on a DIN rail or panel-mount plate — it matches the 3VA1 and 3VA2 family grid, so a panel laid out for a 3VA1110 will accept this breaker without drilling new mounting holes or re-cutting the gland plate. The shunt trip (STL) and two HQ aux switches are pre-installed; verify the aux contact wiring matches your PLC input voltage before landing the control wires.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2216-5MN32-0KC0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 187 kA at 24","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2216-5MN32-0KC0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A, 187 kA SCCR at 240 V.
