At 105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, and 86 mm deep, this 3-pole MCCB fits standard panel-mount cutouts for the 3VA2 frame size. No undervoltage release fitted, so if your design requires UVR for emergency stop or undervoltage protection, you'll need the accessory version or an external relay. Maximum power loss is 19.7 W — relevant for thermal management inside a sealed enclosure; ensure adequate ventilation or derating if multiple breakers are ganged. The continuous current rating holds at 160 A across the full 40–70 °C range (–), so no thermal derating is needed within that band — a useful feature for warm panel environments.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2216-6KP32-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160A, 242kA at 240V","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2216-6KP32-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160A rated, 242kA breaking at 240VAC, ETU850 electronic trip, 3-pole, IP40 front.
