Product details

Breaking capacity reaches 187 kA at 240 V AC, stepping down through 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 79 kA at 500 V, and 5.1 kA at 690 V — the 690 V figure is the one that governs selectivity in 480/600 V class panels.

The 160 A frame is thermally rated at 40 °C ambient; it holds 160 A through 50 °C, then derates to 154 A at 55 °C, 148 A at 60 °C, 142 A at 65 °C, and 136 A at 70 °C. It ships with 2 HQ auxiliary switches for status feedback.

Dimensions are 181 mm high, 105 mm wide, and 86 mm deep — the 105 mm width is the standard 3-pole MCCB footprint for the 3VA2 frame, so it drops into existing SENTRON mounting bases without re-drilling.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2216-5HL32-0AC0 at 480 V?

The evidence does not list a 480 V figure directly, but at 440 V it is rated 121 kA and at 500 V it is 79 kA — expect the 480 V value to fall between those two points.

Where can I buy 3VA2216-5HL32-0AC0?

This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing.

What is the depth of 3VA2216-5HL32-0AC0?

The depth is 86 mm, with a width of 105 mm and height of 181 mm.

Will 3VA2216-5HL32-0AC0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs in the 3VA platform, but the 3VA2216-5HL32-0AC0 is a 160 A frame (3VA2) versus the 3VA1112's smaller frame. The 105 mm width matches the standard 3-pole footprint, so the mounting base and busbar connections are compatible, but verify the busbar ampacity and lug size for the higher current rating.
