Product details

The interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V and still holds 121 kA at 415 V; at 690 V it drops to 4.5 kA, so watch the voltage on high-impedance fault paths. The 3VA2216-5JP32-0AA0 includes a communication function, meaning it can talk to your control system for metering and status — useful for condition monitoring without adding a separate power meter.

The 3VA2216-5JP32-0AA0 measures 105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, and 86 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint that drops into most SENTRON panelboards and distribution blocks.

Trip unit and protection range

The ETU550 is an electronic trip unit with a 240 A minimum to 1 920 A maximum continuous current adjustment band — that is a 8:1 range, giving you flexibility to re-rate the breaker for different loads without swapping hardware. The line protection design (no ground-fault monitoring version) means it is intended for feeder and main breaker duty, not equipment ground-fault protection.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2216-5JP32-0AA0?

This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a quote request for current availability and pricing.

What is the closest functional alternative to 3VA2216-5JP32-0AA0?

The 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0 is a sibling in the same SENTRON family with the same 160 A continuous rating and ETU550 trip unit. The key difference is the 3VA2116 frame lacks the communication function present on the 3VA2216. Both share the same 3-pole, line-protection design and interrupting ratings, so the 3VA2116 can drop into the same panel footprint if you do not need the communication interface.
