Product details

The Siemens 3VA2216-5HL32-0CA0 is a SENTRON 3VA2 molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 160 A continuous current across the full ambient range from 40 °C to 70 °C — no derating needed up to that ceiling. Breaking capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V.

Sizing and fit

The 86 mm depth leaves clearance for rear-connected cables or a DIN-rail adapter plate in a typical distribution panel. No auxiliary switch fitted as standard (design of the auxiliary switch: without), so if you need a contact for remote status, plan for a field-installable accessory.

That simplifies panel design: the breaker carries its full nameplate rating even in a warm enclosure. No ground-fault monitoring, no communication function, no trip indicator — this is a straight line-protection MCCB with UVR, sized for a feeder or large motor branch.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings of 3VA2216-5HL32-0CA0?

160 A continuous, 3-pole, 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. Undervoltage release included. No ground-fault monitoring, no auxiliary switch.

Where can I buy 3VA2216-5HL32-0CA0?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing confirmed at quote time.

Will 3VA2216-5HL32-0CA0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs with the same 160 A continuous rating and UVR. The 3VA2 frame (this part) is the standard line-protection variant; the 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0 is a different frame variant. Footprint and mounting are identical — same 105 mm width, same busbar pitch — so no rewiring needed. The difference is in the breaking capacity curve and internal accessories; verify the SCCR requirement against your panel's fault current.
