The interrupting rating at 415 V is 121 kA, which gives solid headroom for high-fault installations common in industrial distribution. At 240 V it handles 187 kA, and at 500 V still holds 75.6 kA — only at 690 V does it drop to 4.5 kA, so keep that in mind if feeding a 690 V motor directly. Many breakers derate above 40 °C, but this one doesn't, so you can pack it tighter in a warm enclosure without losing capacity. The adjustable thermal-magnetic trip range starts at 32 A and goes to 160 A full scale, so it covers a wide motor FLA band. The trip indicator is not present on this variant, so plan for a separate status indication if you need visual trip feedback at the breaker face.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2216-5MQ32-0AC0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, Moto","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2216-5MQ32-0AC0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated at 40 °C, 3-pole, motor protection design with communication and phase failure detection. 121 kA at 415","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":null,"categoryPath":["Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCB)"],"specifications":{"Depth":"86 mm","Width":"105 mm","Height":"181 mm","Maximum":"20 s","Minimum":"3 s","at 240 V":"187 kA","at 415 V":"121 kA","at 440 V":"121 kA","at 500 V":"75.6 kA","at 690 V":"4.5 kA","at 40 °C":"160 A","at 45 °C":"160 A","at 50 °C":"160 A","at 55 °C":"160 A","at 60 °C":"160 A","at 65 °C":"160 A","at 70 °C":"160 A","Depth [In]":"3.39 in","Width [In]":"4.13 in","Height [In]":"7.13 in","Initial Value":"32 A","Trip Indicator":"No","Number Of Poles":"3","Voltage Trigger":"No","lifecycle_stage":"current","Full-Scale Value":"160 A","Product Brand Name":"SENTRON","Product Designation":"Molded case circuit breaker","Undervoltage Release":"No","Design Of The Product":"Motor protection","Communication Function":"Yes","Phase Failure Detection":"Yes","During Storage / Maximum":"80 °C","During Storage / Minimum":"-40 °C","power loss [W] / maximum":"19.7 W","During Operation / Maximum":"70 °C","During Operation / Minimum":"-25 °C","Other Measurement Function":"Yes","Of The Supplied Basic Switch":"#BEZUG!","Design Of The Auxiliary Switch":"2 auxiliary switches HQ","Design Of The Auxiliary Release":"Without auxiliary release","Ground-Fault Monitoring Version":"Summation current formation L-conductor","Continuous Current / Rated Value":"160 A","Insulation Voltage / Rated Value":"800 V","adjustable trip class (Tc CLASS)":"10A, 10/10E, 20/ 20E, 30","Design Of The Overcurrent Release":"ETU860M","protection class IP / on the front":"IP40","operating power / at AC-3 / at 230 V":"45 000 W","operating power / at AC-3 / at 400 V":"75 000 W","Product Function / Grounding Protection":"Yes","operating voltage / at AC / rated value":"690 V","reference code / according to IEC 81346-2":"Q","Continuous Current / Rated Value / Maximum":"250 A","Product Extension / Optional / Motor Drive":"Yes","Protection Function Of The Overcurrent Release":"LSIG","number of CO contacts / for auxiliary contacts":"2","Of The Integrated Auxiliary Switch/Alarm Switch":"3VA9988-0AA12","Switching Capacity Class Of The Circuit Breaker":"M","Mechanical Service Life (Operating Cycles) / Typical":"25 000","Type Of Electrical Connection / For Main Current Circuit":"on both sides nut keeper kit","Arrangement Of Electrical Connectors / For Main Current Circuit":"Front terminal"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/925896f022f1bf1dfe799568fd778a5f.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://support.industry.siemens.com/webbackend/api/ProductSupport/TechnicalData?language=en&region=cn&productId=629021&mlfb=3VA2216-5MQ32-0AC0","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/3VA2216-5MQ32-0AC0/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2216-5MQ32-0AC0?","answer":"Submit an RFQ against this order code.
