Product details

What this MCCB brings to a distribution panel

The interrupting ratings climb down as voltage goes up: 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. For a 480 V panel (common in North American industrial) the 75.6 kA at 500 V is the closest anchor — well above typical 65 kA or 100 kA SCCR targets. At 690 V the drop to 4.5 kA is sharp; this breaker is not the right choice for a 690 V bus with high fault current.

Built-in communication and ground-fault monitoring

That means it can talk to a higher-level energy management or SCADA system and report ground-leakage events without a separate CT block. The trip unit is electronic (evidenced by the communication port and adjustable trip settings) — no thermal bimetal to drift over time.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2216-5KQ32-0AA0 at 240 V?

187 kA at 240 V, with 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V.

Does 3VA2216-5KQ32-0AA0 support communication and ground-fault monitoring?

Yes, it includes a communication function and ground-fault monitoring via summation current formation on the L-conductor.
