Interrupting capacity runs 187 kA at 240 V, dropping to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 17 kA at 690 V — that covers most industrial distribution panels up to the 690 V tier without needing a current-limiting upstream breaker. ## Thermal derating — what the 160 A means at panel ambient At 55 °C it derates to 153.6 A, at 60 °C to 150.4 A, at 65 °C to 147.2 A, and at 70 °C to 144 A. That derating curve is the number to size the load against, not the sticker rating. ## Auxiliary and trip integration The basic switch supplied is 3VA2216-5MN32-0AA0. Maximum power loss is 75 W — worth factoring into the enclosure thermal budget if it's in a sealed cabinet. ## Physical fit in the panel That's a standard SENTRON 3VA2 frame footprint — it bolts into the same mounting pattern as other 160 A 3-pole units in the series. No surprises on the gland plate or busbar alignment if you're swapping into an existing Siemens panel.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2216-5MN32-0KL0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, Moto","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2216-5MN32-0KL0 molded case circuit breaker. 160 A rated, 3-pole, motor protection version with ETU350M release. 187 kA at 240 V.

The 3VA2216 frame is a 160 A 3-pole unit with a 105 mm width, while the 3VA2116 is a different frame size in the SENTRON family. The busbar centers and mounting hole locations differ — you'll need to verify the panel's cutout and busbar layout before assuming a direct swap."},{"question":"What is 3VA2216-5MN32-0KL0's listed depth (86 mm) on this component line?","answer":"The depth is 86 mm, with a width of 105 mm and height of 181 mm.
