Product details

The breaking capacity at 240 V is 187 kA, at 415 V it's 121 kA, at 440 V it's 36 kA, and at 690 V it's 17 kA — those numbers tell you the fault current it can safely interrupt at each voltage level, which governs selectivity coordination downstream.

Above that it derates: 155.6 A at 55 °C, 151.2 A at 60 °C, 146.8 A at 65 °C, and 142.4 A at 70 °C. If your panel runs hot, the real continuous current you can pull is lower than the nameplate Iu — size the load accordingly.

Auxiliaries and release configuration

The integrated auxiliary trip is order code 3VA9688-0BL32.

Dimensions: 105 mm wide, 158 mm high, 70 mm deep. Latching endurance is 15,000 operations.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1216-5EF32-0JC0 and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at the time of the quote — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

What is 3VA1216-5EF32-0JC0's listed depth (70 mm) on this component line?

The depth is 70 mm, width is 105 mm, and height is 158 mm.

Will 3VA1216-5EF32-0JC0 drop into a panel that was specified around 3VA1110-5EE32-0JA0 without rewiring?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs with the same 105 mm width and similar depth/height, so the physical footprint is compatible. However, the 3VA1216-5EF32-0JC0 is rated at 160 A continuous current versus the 3VA1110-5EE32-0JA0's lower rating, and the breaking capacities differ. Verify the load current and fault level match before substituting — the panel wiring may need to be sized for the higher rating.
