Product details

This 3VA2216-7HL42-0AA0 is a 4-pole SENTRON molded case circuit breaker from the 3VA2 series, rated for 160 A continuous current with an ETU320 electronic trip unit. It's designed for line protection — main feeder or large branch in a distribution panel. The trip unit is adjustable from 240 A to 1 920 A, so you set the actual protection threshold to match the downstream load.

The interrupting ratings are what make this breaker stand out for high-fault installations: 330 kA at 240 V, 242 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 187 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V. That's enough SCCR headroom to coordinate with upstream transformers or downstream panelboards without cascading failure.

Bolts onto a mounting plate or into a panel cutout — no DIN-rail clip on this frame size.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional second-source for 3VA2216-7HL42-0AA0?

The peer 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0 is a 3-pole version with a different trip unit and lower interrupting ratings — it will not drop into a 4-pole panel without rewiring and does not match the 160 A continuous rating or the ETU320 trip curve. For a direct functional replacement, stick with the 4-pole 3VA2 frame.

What are the key dimensions of 3VA2216-7HL42-0AA0?

Width 140 mm, height 181 mm, depth 86 mm. Bolts onto a mounting plate — no DIN-rail clip on this frame.
