Product details

It's a current-production part, so this is what you'd spec into a new BOM or use as a direct replacement for an existing 3VA2 frame in the field.

Breaking capacity and what it means for your panel

The interrupting ratings here are substantial: 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 5 kA at 690 V.

Rated 160 A continuous up to 50 °C ambient, then it derates: 154 A at 55 °C, 148 A at 60 °C, 142 A at 65 °C, and 136 A at 70 °C. The 25.5 W maximum power loss matters for enclosure thermal calculations too.

Trip unit and auxiliary contacts

The ETU320 is an electronic trip unit with LI (long-time and instantaneous) protection curves — no ground-fault or voltage-trip function on this variant. No undervoltage release, no communication module, no phase-failure detection; this is a straightforward thermal-magnetic replacement with electronic precision.

Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, 86 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint for a 160 A frame.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB at 240 V?

242 kA at 240 V, which is a very high interrupting rating suitable for main feeder duty near large transformers.

Does 3VA2116-6HL32-0AC0 include a ground-fault trip?

No, this variant has no ground-fault monitoring. The ETU320 provides long-time and instantaneous protection only.

Where can I buy 3VA2116-6HL32-0AC0?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

Will 3VA2116-6HL32-0AC0 fit a panel designed for 3VA1010-2ED32-0JA0?

The 3VA2116 frame is physically larger (105 mm wide vs a smaller frame) and rated for 160 A versus the 3VA1010's lower current class. It will not drop into the same mounting footprint without panel modifications.
