Breaking capacity reaches 242 kA at 240 V, stepping down to 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V. The 3-pole design is configured for line protection, meaning it's sized to protect feeder circuits and distribution buswork, not motor loads with inrush curves. No undervoltage release or ground-fault module is fitted; those are add-on options if the spec demands them. ## Operating limits and thermal handling Maximum power loss is 19.7 W — useful to know for enclosure heat calculations when the breaker is fully loaded. The trip indicator is present, so a visual check confirms the breaker has opened on fault without needing to reset the handle.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2216-6HN32-0AJ0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2216-6HN32-0AJ0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 242 kA breaking at 240 V. 3-pole line protection.
