Product details

Breaking capacity is voltage-dependent: 220 kA at 240 V AC, 154 kA at 415 V, 121 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. The 4-pole design with 100% N-conductor protection means the neutral pole is fully rated and trips with the phase poles — no derating needed for unbalanced loads or harmonic-rich circuits. This matters for panels feeding non-linear loads like VFD banks or UPS inputs where neutral current can approach phase current.

Thermal derating and temperature range

At 60 °C it derates to 31 A, and at 65 °C and 70 °C it settles at 30 A.

Physical integration and panel fit

Height is 130 mm; width is 4 inches (101.6 mm). The 4-inch width is a standard US panel cutout dimension — this breaker fits existing 4-inch-spaced busbar or lug layouts without adapter plates. That DC rating opens up battery-bank or DC-bus applications in the 600 V class, though the DC breaking capacity should be verified against the device manual per the manufacturer's note.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1216-6EF32-0KF0 at 240 V?

The listed breaking 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 height of this MCCB?

The height is 130 mm. Width is 4 inches (101.6 mm), matching standard US panel cutout spacing.

Where can I buy 3VA1216-6EF32-0KF0?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock figures or lead-time numbers are published here.

Does 3VA1216-6EF32-0KF0 include a shunt trip?

Yes, the design of the auxiliary release is a shunt trip (STL). The integrated auxiliary trip order code is 3VA9688-0BL33. There is no undervoltage release.
