Product details

It's built for line protection, meaning it sits at the feeder or main breaker position in a panel, not downstream protecting a specific motor or branch circuit. That makes it a fit for selective coordination studies where you need to tune the trip curve to stay below upstream devices.

That's unusual; most MCCBs start to derate above 40 °C. If your panel runs hot, this breaker keeps its full ampacity. Interrupting capacity drops as voltage rises: 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. It's a 3-pole unit with no undervoltage release and no trip indicator, so if you need those options, look at the -5JP32 or -5HL32 variants in the same family.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA2116-6KP36-0AA0 at 240 V?

242 kA at 240 V, dropping to 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V.

Will 3VA2116-6KP36-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON 3VA frame breakers with the same 105 mm width and 86 mm depth, so the physical footprint is identical. The difference is the trip unit: the -6KP36 uses an ETU850 electronic trip, while the -5JP32 uses a different release. No rewiring needed for the mounting, but verify the trip curve matches your coordination study.
