For panel builders, this means the breaker can be applied at full 160 A in enclosures maintaining 50 °C or below; above that, the load current must be reduced per the published curve to avoid nuisance tripping from internal heating. ## Short-Circuit Breaking Capacity (SCCR) by Voltage The interrupting rating varies with system voltage, a critical parameter for selectivity studies and SCCR compliance. At 240 V the breaker clears 330 kA; at 415 V and 440 V it is rated 242 kA; at 500 V it drops to 187 kA; and at 690 V the rating is 52.5 kA. ## Physical Dimensions and Environmental Limits The breaker occupies a 3-pole footprint: width 105 mm, height 181 mm, depth 86 mm. Maximum power loss is 75 W, which should be factored into enclosure thermal calculations.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2216-7MN32-0KL0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, Moto","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2216-7MN32-0KL0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated continuous current, 3-pole, motor protection version with ETU350M electronic trip unit.
