Product details

MCCB for high-fault panel protection

The interrupting capacity at 240 V is 220 kA, dropping to 154 kA at 415 V and 121 kA at 440 V — figures that tell you this breaker is sized for high-fault installations where upstream transformer capacity is substantial.

Thermal-magnetic curve and temperature derating

The overcurrent release is a TM240 thermal-magnetic unit. At 55 °C and 60 °C it derates to 24 A, and at 65 °C and 70 °C to 23 A.

Pole count, auxiliary switches, and trip options

This is a 4-pole MCCB with 100% N-conductor protection — the neutral pole is fully rated, not just a switched neutral. The integrated shunt trip (STL) release, order code 3VA9688-0BL33, allows remote tripping via a control signal.

Physical fit and mounting

Height is 130 mm; width is 4 in. The 4-pole footprint matches the standard SENTRON 3VA 4-pole cutout — if you are replacing an existing 3VA or a competitor's 4-pole MCCB, verify the busbar spacing and terminal center-to-center distances against the panel layout before ordering. The auxiliary switch wiring exits the front; plan your wireway clearance accordingly.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA1216-6EF32-0KC0 at 240 V?

The interrupting capacity at 240 V is 220 kA. At 415 V it is 154 kA, at 440 V it is 121 kA, and at 500 V and 690 V it is 17 kA.

What is the rated current and how does it derate with temperature?

Rated continuous current Iu is 25 A from 40 °C through 50 °C. It derates to 24 A at 55 °C and 60 °C, and to 23 A at 65 °C and 70 °C.

Where can I buy 3VA1216-6EF32-0KC0 and how is it quoted?

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

Does 3VA1216-6EF32-0KC0 include a shunt trip or undervoltage release?

It includes a shunt trip release (STL) with integrated auxiliary trip order code 3VA9688-0BL33. There is no undervoltage release, no ground-fault monitoring, and no communication function on this variant.

What is the height and width of this MCCB?

Height is 130 mm; width is 4 in. It is a 4-pole unit with IP40 front protection.
