Product details

The trip unit covers 240 A to 1 920 A, which gives the engineer room to set the pickup for cable or busbar protection without swapping the breaker frame.

Short-circuit withstand — what the kA numbers actually mean for coordination

This MCCB carries a 187 kA interrupting rating at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V. At 415/440 V the 121 kA still clears most industrial service-entrance faults without cascading upstream. For a 400 V panel, the 121 kA rating gives solid selectivity headroom against downstream MCCBs.

Auxiliary and release configuration — what ships on the breaker

That means you get two Form C contacts for status feedback, one contact that changes state only when the breaker trips on fault (not manual off), and a fourth contact for the electrical alarm. The basic switch assembly is order code 3VA2216-5HL32-0AA0, which is the bare breaker without auxiliaries — this -0HL0 variant is the fully loaded version.

Physical fit — dimensions for panel layout

That 105 mm width is the standard 3-pole SENTRON 3VA2 footprint — it fits the same mounting cutout and busbar spacing as other 3VA2 three-pole frames, so a panel laid out for a 160 A 3VA2 will accept this unit without redrilling the backplate or relocating the bus stack. The 86 mm depth is the overall body, not including handle projection; account for the rotary handle throw in the door cutout.

Frequently asked questions

What is the continuous current rating of 3VA2216-5HL32-0HL0?

160 A continuous across the ambient range 40 °C to 70 °C, no derating required within that window.

Will 3VA2216-5HL32-0HL0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0 without rewiring?

The 3VA2 frame family shares the same mounting footprint and busbar spacing across the 160 A frame size, so a panel designed for the 3VA2116 variant will accept this 3VA2216 unit without mechanical rework. The difference is the trip unit range and aux switch configuration — verify the trip settings match your coordination study before swapping.

What is the interrupting rating of this MCCB at 415 V?

121 kA at 415 V, which is the same rating as at 440 V — suitable for most 400 V industrial distribution boards with high fault current.
