Product details

The interrupting ratings are substantial: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, 30 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V, which covers most industrial fault-current scenarios across common voltage levels.

The breaker holds 160 A continuously up to 50 °C ambient. Above that, it derates linearly: 156 A at 55 °C, 151 A at 60 °C, 147 A at 65 °C, and 142 A at 70 °C. Maximum power loss is 33 W.

The auxiliary switch design is listed as 3VA12165MH320AA0. For an MRO planner, this means the breaker is ready for remote trip and status indication out of the box, but if you need undervoltage protection or ground-fault sensing, you will need a different order code or an add-on module.

It is a standard DIN-rail mountable MCCB footprint for the SENTRON 3VA platform. In a panel, the 105 mm width occupies roughly 6 TE (terminal units) on a DIN rail.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting rating of 3VA1216-5MH32-0HH0 at 415 V?

121 kA at 415 V, which covers most industrial fault-current scenarios at that voltage level.

What is the closest functional second-source to 3VA1216-5MH32-0HH0?

The peer MPNs 3VA1110-5EF32-0AM0, 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0, and 3VA1112-5EE32-0AA0 are from the same SENTRON 3VA family but are lower-ampacity variants (100 A or 125 A range). They share the same form factor and auxiliary switch options, so they can drop into the same panel footprint, but the 160 A rating and starter protection design of the 3VA1216-5MH32-0HH0 are specific to this order code. A direct substitution without rewiring is possible only if the load current is within the lower peer's rating.
