The 3VA2216-5HL32-0AB0: Rated short-circuit breaking capacity: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, 4.5 kA at 690 V. The 240 V figure is the headline — this breaker handles high available fault current on low-voltage distribution.
Fits standard SENTRON 3VA2 panel cutout and busbar spacing. Ground-fault monitoring is not included.
This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a request for quote to confirm current availability and pricing.
The 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0 is a similar SENTRON 3VA2 MCCB but with different accessory configuration and breaking capacity ratings. Verify the specific interrupting capacity and auxiliary switch count before substituting — the footprint and 160 A rating are shared, but the 3VA2216-5HL32-0AB0 carries 187 kA at 240 V while the 3VA2116 variant may differ. Drop-in fit depends on the panel's fault-current requirement.
