It's designed for line protection — main feeder or large branch in a distribution panel. The trip unit is adjustable from 240 A to 1 920 A, so you set the actual protection threshold to match the downstream load. The interrupting ratings are what make this breaker stand out for high-fault installations: 330 kA at 240 V, 242 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 187 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V. That's enough SCCR headroom to coordinate with upstream transformers or downstream panelboards without cascading failure. Bolts onto a mounting plate or into a panel cutout — no DIN-rail clip on this frame size.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2216-7HL42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 4-Pole, ETU3","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2216-7HL42-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 4-pole, ETU320 trip unit, 330 kA at 240 V.
