Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2216-5HL32-0HC0 is a 3-pole 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. That 160 A figure is the frame's thermal-magnetic continuous rating, not a pickup; the breaker's adjustable overload trip band spans 240 A minimum to 1 920 A maximum (, –,). The interrupting ratings tell you where this breaker can sit in a fault-current study: 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V (–). At 690 V the 4.5 kA figure is the limiting value — that voltage class typically appears in mining or marine distribution, and the breaker's capability drops sharply above 500 V. For most industrial 400 V lineups, the 121 kA SCCR at 415 V gives ample headroom for high-fault service-entrance or sub-distribution positions.

Dimensions: 181 mm height, 105 mm width, 86 mm depth (–, –). The 86 mm depth includes the handle and terminal covers; verify clearance against enclosure door depth if a rotary handle extension is planned. Maximum power dissipation at rated current is 19.7 W. In a sealed, uncooled enclosure, that heat must be factored into the thermal budget — especially if multiple breakers are ganged.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2216-5HL32-0HC0 and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

What is the closest functional second-source — 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0?

The 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0 is a sibling in the same SENTRON 3VA2 frame family. Both are 3-pole, 160 A MCCBs with shunt trip and two auxiliary switches. The key difference is the interrupting rating at 415 V: the 3VA2216-5HL32-0HC0 carries 121 kA, while the 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0 is rated at a lower value (per its own spec). Panel cutout dimensions and terminal layouts are identical — no rewiring needed for a swap, but verify the fault-current study supports the lower interrupting rating before substituting.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA2216-5HL32-0HC0 (RoHS, REACH, UL, IEC)?

Siemens SENTRON MCCBs are designed and tested to IEC 60947-2 and UL 489 standards. RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Siemens' compliance portal. The specific certifications (UL file number, CE marking) are printed on the nameplate; the evidence does not list them individually for this order code.
