Interrupting capacity hits 330 kA at 240 VAC and 242 kA at 415 VAC, which is high enough for most transformer-fed or generator-backed fault scenarios without cascading upstream breakers. Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, 86 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint for a 160 A frame. ## Ground-fault and monitoring capability That means it pairs with a separate ground-fault relay module; the breaker itself does not trip on ground fault unless the relay signals the undervoltage or shunt release. No communication function or voltage-trigger release is built in, so it's a straightforward thermal-magnetic or electronic line-protection device without auxiliary monitoring stack.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2216-7HM32-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, 330","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2216-7HM32-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, 330 kA interrupting at 240 VAC.
