Product details

This Siemens SENTRON 3VA2216-5MN32-0AD0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 160 A continuous current across the full -25 °C to 70 °C operating range — no derating needed as the panel warms up. Interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V, dropping to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V. That 187 kA figure at 240 V tells you it's built for high-fault industrial services where a standard MCCB would weld shut.

Mounts in a standard panel footprint: 105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, 86 mm deep. The 3-pole block leaves room for the three auxiliary switches (HQ type) that ship with it. No undervoltage release, no ground-fault monitoring, no communication module — this is a straight motor-protection MCCB with phase failure detection built in. Max power loss runs 19.7 W, so factor that into your enclosure heat budget.

The basic switch variant is order code 3VA2216-5MN32-0AA0 — this -0AD0 adds the three HQ auxiliary switches. No trip indicator on the front, so fault diagnosis will rely on the aux contacts or an upstream indication relay.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2216-5MN32-0AD0?

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

What are the key ratings for 3VA2216-5MN32-0AD0?

160 A continuous current (no derating up to 70 °C), 3-pole, interrupting capacity of 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 121 kA at 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V.

Will 3VA2216-5MN32-0AD0 drop into a panel specified for 5SQ2370-2YA05?

That depends on the panel layout and bus bar spacing. The 3VA2216-5MN32-0AD0 is a 3-pole SENTRON MCCB with specific dimensions (105 x 181 x 86 mm) and a different mounting footprint than the 5SQ2370 series. Verify the mounting hole pattern and bus connection centers before assuming a direct swap.
