The Siemens 3VA1216-5EF32-0AA0-ZD00 is a 3-pole IEC frame 250 molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) with a 160 A nominal rating and a class M breaking capacity of 55 kA at 415 V. It uses a TM240 thermal-magnetic trip unit with adjustable overload protection from 112 A to 160 A and short-circuit protection set at 5 to 10 times In. The suffix ZD00 adds a nut keeper kit and designates this variant for a DC Power OEM in China.
Breaking capacity and trip unit
The TM240 thermal-magnetic trip provides both overload (Ir adjustable 112–160 A) and instantaneous short-circuit (Ii 5–10×In) protection in one unit. No separate electronic trip module needed.
