Product details

That 160 A holds at every 5 °C step, so the rating is the same at 40 °C as it is at 70 °C. Breaking capacity reaches 242 kA at 240 V, stepping down to 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V. The 3-pole design is configured for line protection, meaning it's sized to protect feeder circuits and distribution buswork, not motor loads with inrush curves.

No undervoltage release or ground-fault module is fitted; those are add-on options if the spec demands them.

Operating limits and thermal handling

Maximum power loss is 19.7 W — useful to know for enclosure heat calculations when the breaker is fully loaded. The trip indicator is present, so a visual check confirms the breaker has opened on fault without needing to reset the handle.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2216-6HN32-0AJ0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. The part is sourced to order through independent distribution; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is 3VA2216-6HN32-0AJ0's listed depth?

The depth is 86 mm (3.39 in), with a width of 105 mm (4.13 in) and height of 181 mm (7.13 in).

Will 3VA2216-6HN32-0AJ0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0 without rewiring?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON 3VA2 frame breakers sharing the same 105 mm width and 86 mm depth footprint, so the mechanical fit is identical. The wiring difference is in the auxiliary switch configuration — this unit carries 2 aux switches plus a trip alarm, while the 3VA2116 variant may differ. Check the terminal assignments on the existing panel drawing before transferring wire numbers.
