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.
