The SENTRON 3VA2216-6HK32-0AA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated 160 A continuous (no derating from 40 °C to 70 °C) with an ETU340 electronic trip unit configured for line protection. The IP40 front face suits panel-mount applications where the enclosure provides the environmental seal.
It's the same platform used across the 3VA2 family, so settings and test procedures are consistent if you're standardizing on SENTRON breakers.
242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and at 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V. These are symmetric RMS values; the 690 V figure drops sharply, so confirm system voltage before specifying.
No — the 3VA2 frame is physically larger than the 3VA1 frame. The 3VA2216-6HK32-0AA0 is 105 mm wide versus the 3VA1's narrower footprint, so the mounting holes and bus-bar spacing differ. A panel laid out for a 3VA1 won't accept this breaker without rework.
