The 3VA2116-5KP32-0BH0: The ETU850 is a communicating trip unit — the breaker carries a communication function, so you can pull event logs and settings over the bus. An undervoltage release (UVR) is integrated, and the basic switch variant is 3VA2116-5KP32-0AA0.
At 55 °C it derates to 154 A, at 60 °C to 148 A, at 65 °C to 142 A, and at 70 °C to 136 A.
Sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no fixed lead time published here, but we quote firm dates with each RFQ.
Yes — both share the same 105 mm width and 3-pole SENTRON 3VA2 frame, so the physical footprint, busbar centers, and DIN-rail clip are identical. The difference is the trip unit: the -5KP32-0BH0 carries the ETU850 electronic unit, while the -5JP32-0AE0 uses a different trip curve. No rewiring required, but verify the protection settings match your coordination study.
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 steep drop at 690 V is typical for this frame size — if your system runs 690 V, check that 4.25 kA exceeds your prospective fault current.
