What this MCCB delivers
The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2216-6JP42-0AA0 is a 4-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 160 A continuous current — that's the frame size that governs your bus bar and lug selection, not just the trip setting. Breaking capacity is the headline: 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, still 121 kA at 500 V. At 690 V it drops to 4.5 kA — that's the limit for that voltage class, so verify your available fault current if you're feeding a 690 V drive.
Dimensions are 181 mm high, 140 mm wide, 86 mm deep — a standard SENTRON 3VA2 frame footprint. Four poles occupies the full width of a 4-pole MCCB mounting base. Operating temperature range is -25 °C to 70 °C, with no derating across the full 40–70 °C band — the continuous current stays at 160 A regardless of ambient within that window.
