Product details

The 4-pole design with adjustable N-conductor protection (20 % to 100 % or OFF) makes it a fit for 3-phase + neutral systems where you need to protect the neutral against harmonic overloads.

Communication function is built in, so it can report status and trip events to a higher-level system — useful for a maintenance planner tracking nuisance trips on a critical feeder. The 160 A frame is the smallest in the 3VA2 line that takes the ETU850; if you need the same trip unit at a higher amp rating, the sibling 3VA2125-8KQ42-0AA0 steps up to 250 A frame but shares the same physical footprint and communication interface.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2116-0KP42-0AA0 at 415 V?

440 kA at 415 V AC. This is the rated ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity (Icu) for the 160 A frame with the ETU850 trip unit.
