Product details

The ETU550 gives you adjustable long-time, short-time, instantaneous, and ground-fault settings, plus a communication function for remote monitoring or integration with a BMS.

Breaking capacity — what it means for your fault level

This breaker's interrupting rating changes with system voltage: 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.

Thermal performance and panel fit

That's a standard 4-pole MCCB form factor for a 160 A frame; it'll fit a typical DIN-rail or panel-mount cutout, but check the depth clearance against the enclosure door or busbar stack.

Frequently asked questions

What is the continuous current rating of this MCCB?

It's rated 160 A continuous, and that rating holds from 40 °C up to 70 °C ambient without derating.

What trip unit does this breaker use?

It uses the ETU550 electronic trip unit, which provides adjustable long-time, short-time, instantaneous, and ground-fault protection settings.

Where can I buy 3VA2216-5JP42-0AA0 and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

Will 3VA2216-5JP42-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1112-5EE32-0AA0?

Not without checking — the 3VA2216 is a 160 A, 4-pole frame with an ETU550 trip unit, while the 3VA1112 is a smaller 3VA1 frame. The footprint (140 mm wide, 181 mm high, 86 mm deep) and busbar spacing differ; expect different cutout dimensions and connection layouts.
