Product details

Above 50 °C the current rating drops in steps — 156 A at 55 °C, 151 A at 60 °C, 147 A at 65 °C, and 142 A at 70 °C — so the thermal trip curve stays predictable in a warm cabinet. The interrupting capacity reaches 121 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, 17 kA at 500 V, and 11.9 kA at 690 V, which gives selectivity headroom for most distribution panels without cascading upstream.

Maximum power loss is 33 W. Compliance documentation (UL, IEC, RoHS, REACH) is available from the manufacturer on request.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1216-4EF32-0JC0 and get current pricing?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at the time of quote.

What is the closest functional alternative to 3VA1216-4EF32-0JC0?

The 3VA1110-5EE32-0LC0 is a smaller-frame SENTRON MCCB (100 A vs 160 A) and will not drop into the same panel position without busbar and mounting changes. The 3VA1110-5EF32-0LA0 is also a 100 A frame. Neither is a direct second-source for this 160 A breaker.

What are the key dimensions of 3VA1216-4EF32-0JC0?

Width is 105 mm, height is 158 mm, and depth is 70 mm.

What compliance documentation is available for this breaker?

The manufacturer provides UL, IEC, RoHS, and REACH documentation on request. The rated insulation voltage is 800 V.
