Product details

Breaking capacity is the headline here: 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at both 415 V and 440 V, 79 kA at 500 V, and 4.25 kA at 690 V.

If this breaker lives in a non-ventilated enclosure next to other heat sources, check the 55 °C column (154 A) or 60 °C (148 A) — the 160 A nameplate is only valid if your panel ambient stays under 50 °C.

Auxiliary contacts and trip unit

Comes with three auxiliary switches (HQ type) built in — these are the form-C contacts that signal breaker position (open/closed/tripped) back to a PLC or status lamp. No undervoltage release, no shunt trip, no ground-fault module on this variant; if you need those, you're looking at a different suffix in the 3VA2 family. Maximum power dissipation is 25.5 W at rated load. That's the heat the breaker dumps into the enclosure at full 160 A — factor it into your panel thermal budget, especially if the MCCB is enclosed with other heat-generating gear.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2116-5HL32-0AD0?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What are the key ratings for this MCCB?

Rated continuous current Iu is 160 A, with breaking capacity of 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 79 kA at 500 V, and 4.25 kA at 690 V. The trip unit is an ETU320 electronic type.

What is the difference between 3VA2116-5HL32-0AD0 and 3VA1010-2ED32-0JA0?

The 3VA1010-2ED32-0JA0 is a smaller-frame MCCB with a lower continuous current rating and different trip unit. The 3VA2116-5HL32-0AD0 is a 160 A frame with the ETU320 electronic trip; the 3VA1010 is a 100 A frame with a thermal-magnetic trip. Panel cutouts and busbar spacing differ — they are not drop-in interchangeable without rewiring.
