Product details

The interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V, and still holds 17 kA at 690 V, so it handles high-fault scenarios downstream of a transformer without cascading upstream breakers. The IP40 front protection means the breaker face is protected against solid objects over 1 mm, but the enclosure itself must be rated for the installation environment — this is a panel-mount component, not a standalone outdoor unit. Power loss at full load runs 33 W maximum, worth considering for thermal management in a densely packed enclosure.

Current derating and thermal limits

Above that, it derates: 156 A at 55 °C, 151 A at 60 °C, 147 A at 65 °C, and 142 A at 70 °C.

Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 158 mm high, 70 mm deep.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1216-5EE32-0AA0 and get a price?

This MCCB is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a request for current pricing and availability — confirmed at quote time.

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA1216-5EE32-0AA0 at different voltages?

187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, 30 kA at 500 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. The 187 kA figure at 240 V makes it suitable for high-fault installations near large transformers.

Will 3VA1216-5EE32-0AA0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA1112-5EE32-0AA0?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON 3VA breakers with the same 105 mm width, 158 mm height, and 70 mm depth. The 3VA1216 carries a higher 160 A frame rating versus the 3VA1112's lower rating, so it will physically fit the same mounting footprint but requires checking that the feeder and bus bars are sized for 160 A.
