The full-scale value is 160 A, which matches the continuous rating — that's the point where the thermal element starts to track. No trip indicator and no undervoltage release are built in, so if you need those, plan on an accessory module. This is a 3-pole breaker designed for line protection — the main feed, not a branch. The communication function lets it integrate with a higher-level system for remote monitoring and trip-event logging. Ground-fault monitoring via summation current means it can detect a leak on the L-conductor without a separate GFCI module, which saves panel space.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2216-7JQ32-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, 330","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2216-7JQ32-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, 330 kA interrupting at 240 V.
