Product details

Three poles, line-protection design, no undervoltage release or communication function onboard. This is the version you spec when you need a straight thermal-magnetic or electronic-trip MCCB for a distribution panel, motor control center, or feeder circuit, and you want the high interrupting capacity that the 3VA2 frame carries.

Breaking capacity — what the voltage-dependent numbers mean for coordination

This breaker delivers 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. The sharp drop to 3.7 kA at 690 V means this is not a 690 V main breaker; it is a 240–500 V device with a 690 V rating that covers incidental or lightly-faulted circuits only.

Ground-fault monitoring version

This variant is configured for summation-current ground-fault monitoring on the L-conductor — meaning it uses a summation CT around the phase conductors to detect residual current. That is the standard approach for solidly-grounded systems where you want ground-fault protection without a separate GF relay. The 3VA2116-6HM32-0AA0 does not include a trip indicator or voltage trigger, so ground-fault events will not leave a visible flag on the breaker face; plan for an external indication if the application requires it.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2116-6HM32-0AA0 and get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing — confirmed at quote time, not from a static listing.

What is the closest functional second-source to 3VA2116-6HM32-0AA0?

The 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0 is a peer in the same 3VA2 frame family, but it carries a different trip-unit variant and accessory configuration. The 3VA2116-6HM32-0AA0 is the ground-fault monitoring version with summation-current detection; the -5JP32-0AE0 does not include that feature. Panel footprint (105 × 181 × 86 mm) and busbar connection are identical, so it will physically fit the same mounting base, but the trip functionality differs — verify the trip unit matches your coordination study before substituting.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3VA2116-6HM32-0AA0?

Siemens SENTRON MCCBs carry IEC/EN 60947-2 certification as standard. RoHS and REACH compliance declarations are available from the manufacturer. The product designation and brand (SENTRON) are on the nameplate; specific UL/CSA listing status should be confirmed against the exact order code variant at quote time.
