Product details

Four poles handle three-phase plus neutral switching. The interrupting ratings climb to 187 kA at 240 V and hold at 121 kA through 440 V, then step down to 75.6 kA at 500 V and 4.5 kA at 690 V — so the available fault current at the panelboard determines which voltage column governs selection.

Verify the mounting base and bus-bar spacing against the existing panel cutout before ordering; the 140 mm width is the key dimension for multi-pole grouping in a distribution board.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings of 3VA2216-5JQ42-0AA0?

Continuous current is 160 A with no derating from 40 °C to 70 °C. Breaking capacity reaches 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415/440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V. It is a 4-pole MCCB with communication and ground-fault monitoring.
