The 800 V rated insulation voltage (Ui) and the short-circuit breaking capacities — 440 kA at 240 V, 330 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 220 kA at 500 V, 53 kA at 690 V — define where this breaker can be installed without cascading upstream. The ETU860 electronic trip unit provides adjustable time-delay settings (tr from 0.5 to 25 s, tsd up to 0.5 s) plus ground-fault monitoring via summation current formation, which means it can be coordinated downstream for selective tripping in a distribution panel. The communication function and other measurement function (both confirmed on this variant) allow integration into a higher-level monitoring system, so a controls integrator can pull trip and load data without separate metering.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2216-8KQ32-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, ETU8","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2216-8KQ32-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, ETU860 release. 440 kA at 240 V.
