Product details

The interrupting capacity is 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.

Motor protection specifics and built-in releases

This MCCB is engineered for motor protection, meaning the trip curve is shaped to handle motor inrush without nuisance tripping, yet still clear a locked-rotor or phase-loss fault. Phase failure detection is included — that's a key feature for a motor circuit: if one phase drops out, the breaker opens before the motor single-phases and cooks the winding. The UVR means the breaker drops out if control voltage is lost — common in safety circuits or remote emergency-stop chains. The auxiliary and alarm contacts let a PLC or SCADA system know the breaker state without adding external relays. A trip indicator is present, so a quick glance at the panel tells you whether the breaker tripped on fault or was manually opened. The basic switch module is order code 3VA2216-5MN32-0AA0 — useful if you ever need to swap just the switch body and keep the existing release and aux block.

That 86 mm depth is the panel depth behind the mounting surface — check your enclosure depth if you're retrofitting into a shallow gland-plate area.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2216-5MN32-0CH0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. Pricing and stock are confirmed at quote time through independent distribution channels.

Will 3VA2216-5MN32-0CH0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1110-5EF32-0AM0 without rewiring?

The 3VA2216-5MN32-0CH0 is a larger-frame breaker (160 A vs the 3VA1110 family's lower rating). Physical dimensions differ — the 3VA2216 is taller and deeper. It will not be a direct mechanical swap; verify panel cutout and bus bar spacing before ordering.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA2216-5MN32-0CH0?

Siemens SENTRON MCCBs typically carry UL, CSA, IEC, and CE certifications. Specific documentation (RoHS, REACH, UL file) is available from the manufacturer's product page or through your Siemens contact.
