Breaking capacity is 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V — numbers that put it in the high-interrupting class for industrial distribution. Designed for line protection (cable/feeder duty), not motor or generator protection — the trip curve and accessories are tuned for overcurrent on distribution circuits. ## Built-in shunt trip and dual-signal auxiliary ## Current production, no lifecycle concern Lifecycle status is marked as current — no phase-out, no last-time-buy window on this order code. Storage range is -40 °C to 80 °C; operating ambient is -25 °C to 70 °C, with the full 160 A continuous rating available across the entire operating band. Maximum power loss is 19.7 W — useful for thermal budgeting in a sealed enclosure.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2216-6HN32-0KF0 MCCB, 160A, 3-Pole, 242kA at 240V","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2216-6HN32-0KF0 molded case circuit breaker, 160A continuous, 3-pole, 242kA breaking at 240V.
