Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2216-5KQ32-0BB0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 160 A continuous current across its full ambient temperature range of -25 °C to 70 °C — no derating needed from 40 °C through 70 °C, which simplifies panel sizing in warm environments. Breaking capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V, drops to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V. Communication function is onboard, so it can talk to a higher-level system for monitoring or load-shedding coordination.

The 160 A full-scale rating with the adjustable thermal-magnetic trip unit (initial value 32 A, full-scale 160 A) lets you set the continuous pickup to match the downstream load — conveyor motor, pump, or feeder circuit.

Frequently asked questions

What auxiliary switches and releases are fitted on this breaker?

It comes with two HP auxiliary switches and an undervoltage release (UVR) factory-installed. The UVR trips the breaker when control voltage drops, which is standard for emergency-stop or undervoltage protection schemes.
