Product details

SENTRON 3VA1216-6EE32-0AA0 — 160 A MCCB with TM220 Release

The interrupting ratings span the common industrial voltages: 220 kA at 240 V, 154 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, 30 kA at 500 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. At 415 V — a typical three-phase distribution voltage in many regions — the 154 kA SCCR gives substantial headroom for high-fault installations without cascading upstream breakers.

The breaker carries a full 160 A from 40°C through 50°C ambient, then derates to 156 A at 55°C, 151 A at 60°C, 147 A at 65°C, and 142 A at 70°C. In a sealed enclosure or high-ambient machine cabinet, that derating curve is the real selection limit — not the 40°C nameplate. The 105 mm width (4.13 in) and 158 mm height (6.22 in) fit standard SENTRON 3VA panel footprints; depth is 70 mm (2.76 in).

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting rating of 3VA1216-6EE32-0AA0 at 415 V?

At 415 V the breaker is rated for 154 kA interrupting capacity, which covers high-fault industrial distribution without needing upstream current-limiting fuses.

Where can I buy 3VA1216-6EE32-0AA0?

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

Does 3VA1216-6EE32-0AA0 have an electronic or adjustable trip unit?

No — it uses a TM220 thermal-magnetic release with fixed trip settings, not an electronic trip unit. This makes it a direct replacement for older fixed-trip MCCB designs.
