Product details

Rated continuous current Iu is 160 A, and it carries an ETU350M electronic trip unit with phase failure detection built in. The 3-pole body breaks up to 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 17 kA at 690 V — so it handles high-fault industrial services without cascading upstream. The base switch is order code 3VA2216-5MN32-0AA0; the auxiliary trip module is 3VA9688-0BL33.

Current derating — what the temperature table tells you

At 55 °C it derates to 153.6 A, at 60 °C to 150.4 A, at 65 °C to 147.2 A, and at 70 °C to 144 A.

No surprises if you're swapping a 3VA2 variant; the bus-bar and lug kits carry over.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2216-5MN32-0KH0 at different voltages?

187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 17 kA at 690 V.

What trip unit does this MCCB use?

It uses the ETU350M electronic overcurrent release, which includes phase failure detection.

Where can I buy 3VA2216-5MN32-0KH0 and get current pricing?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

Will 3VA2216-5MN32-0KH0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0?

Both are SENTRON 3VA2-frame MCCBs with the same 105 mm width and 3-pole form factor, so the physical footprint and bus-bar pattern are identical. The difference is the trip unit and accessories — the 3VA2216-5MN32-0KH0 has an ETU350M with shunt trip and phase failure detection, while the 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0 has a different release configuration. If the panel wiring accommodates the shunt trip and auxiliary contacts, it drops in without rewiring the main power path.
