Product details

At 415 V it still interrupts 121 kA, so it's comfortable on 400 V distribution in industrial plants. The undervoltage release (UVR) is built in, which means a voltage dip or intentional drop-out trips the breaker — common on safety-disconnect or emergency-stop circuits where you want the load isolated when control power vanishes.

If your panel runs hot (stacked drives, transformer nearby), size the load side for the 70 °C figure, not the nameplate. Dimensions are 105 mm wide × 181 mm high × 86 mm deep — standard 3-pole MCCB footprint for a SENTRON 3VA frame.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2116-5HL32-0BC0?

This MCCB is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for the latest lead time and price.

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2116-5HL32-0BC0 at different voltages?

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 240 V figure is the highest — typical for a utility transformer secondary — while the 690 V rating drops sharply, so verify coordination if your system runs at that voltage.

Does 3VA2116-5HL32-0BC0 include an undervoltage release?

Yes, it comes with a factory-installed undervoltage release (UVR) as the auxiliary release. The UVR trips the breaker when control voltage drops below the dropout threshold — useful for safety circuits or sequenced power-down schemes.

What is the closest functional second-source to 3VA2116-5HL32-0BC0?

The 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0 is a smaller-frame SENTRON MCCB with a lower current rating and different trip unit. It will not drop into the same panel cutout or match the 160 A rating — the 3VA2116 frame is physically larger and carries higher interrupting capacity. No direct drop-in second-source exists; the 3VA2116-5HL32-0BC0 is the correct part for its rating class.
