It delivers a breaking capacity of 242 kA at 240 VAC and 187 kA at 415 VAC, which means it can safely interrupt fault currents up to those levels without cascading upstream — critical for high-fault-capacity main feeders or distribution panels where selective coordination matters. Rated insulation voltage is 800 V, and the breaker carries a full 160 A across the ambient range from 40 °C to 70 °C with no derating — a flat thermal curve that simplifies panel design in warm enclosures. Dimensions are 181 mm high, 140 mm wide, and 86 mm deep — a standard SENTRON 3VA2 frame footprint. The 4-pole configuration covers three-phase-plus-neutral or three-phase with a switched neutral, depending on system design.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2216-6HN42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 4-Pole, ETU3","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2216-6HN42-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 4-pole, ETU350 electronic trip unit.
