Product details

At 240 V this breaker clears 187 kA; at 415 V and 440 V it handles 121 kA; at 500 V it's 75.6 kA; and at 690 V it still manages 4.5 kA.

Thermal performance — no derating headache

That's unusual — most MCCBs start derating above 40 °C. Here you can load it to 160 A even in a hot panel or enclosure without recalculating the cable or bus bar ampacity.

Trip unit and communication capability

That's useful if you're building a smart distribution panel or need to feed data into a building management system. There's no undervoltage release or voltage trigger on this variant, and no ground-fault monitoring module fitted. The trip indicator is also absent, so you'd rely on the communication function or a local ammeter to see the breaker state.

Environmental limits

The storage limit is the one that governs handling and warehousing — it's wider than the operating range, which is typical for breakers. No special climate-controlled storage needed as long as you stay inside those bounds.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2216-5KP42-0AA0?

Pricing and availability are confirmed at quote time against an RFQ. Submit a request through the storefront or contact the sourcing desk — we source this through independent distribution and can provide current pricing and lead time on request.

What is 3VA2216-5KP42-0AA0's listed depth (86 mm) on this component line?

The depth is 86 mm (3.39 in). That's the front-to-back dimension including the case body but not the handle throw or any protruding communication module.

What is 3VA2216-5KP42-0AA0's listed width (140 mm) on this component line?

The width is 140 mm (5.51 in). That's the panel cutout or DIN-rail footprint for this 4-pole frame.

Will 3VA2216-5KP42-0AA0 drop into a panel that was specified around 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0 without rewiring?

The 3VA2216-5KP42-0AA0 is a different frame size (3VA2 vs 3VA1) with different dimensions and a higher continuous rating (160 A vs the 3VA1's typical lower ratings). It will not drop into the same footprint without panel modifications. Check the physical dimensions and bus bar connections before assuming interchangeability.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA2216-5KP42-0AA0 (RoHS, REACH, UL, IEC)?

Siemens SENTRON breakers are typically certified to IEC 60947-2 and UL 489 standards. RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Siemens documentation portals. The IP40 front protection rating is per IEC 60529.
