Product details

What this 160 A MCCB delivers

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2216-5HL42-0AA0 is a 4-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 160 A continuous current, carrying that rating flat from 40 °C through 70 °C ambient — no derating curve to chase in a warm enclosure. Insulation voltage is rated 800 V, and the interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415/440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V — a steep SCCR curve that matters when you're coordinating with upstream gear. Maximum power loss is 19.7 W.

Lifecycle stage is listed as current — no phase-out notice, no last-time-buy window.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2216-5HL42-0AA0 and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a request with your quantity and target delivery window; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is 3VA2216-5HL42-0AA0's interrupting capacity at 415 V?

The interrupting capacity is 121 kA at 415 V, and the same at 440 V. At 240 V it reaches 187 kA; at 500 V it drops to 75.6 kA; at 690 V it is 4.5 kA.

What trip unit does this MCCB use?

It uses the ETU320 electronic trip unit, with an adjustable overload pickup range from 240 A to 1,920 A.

Will 3VA2216-5HL42-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 5SQ2670-2YA06 without rewiring?

The 5SQ2670-2YA06 series shares the same frame size and trip range, making it the closest functional peer. However, terminal arrangement and accessory compatibility should be verified before direct substitution — the mounting footprint is the same, but accessory slots and wiring lug positions may differ.
