Siemens SENTRON 3VA2216-7HN32-0JH0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 160 A continuous current across the full ambient range from 40 °C to 70 °C — no derating needed up to that ceiling. Breaking capacity sits at 330 kA at 240 V AC, stepping down to 242 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then 187 kA at 500 V. At 690 V it still clears 4.5 kA. That kind of SCCR headroom means it handles high-fault utility feeds or transformer secondaries without cascading upstream.
Housing dimensions are 181 mm high, 105 mm wide, 86 mm deep — fits standard SENTRON 3VA2 panel cutouts and busbar layouts. The 105 mm width is the 3-pole footprint; if you're swapping in from a different MCCB family, check the busbar centers match. Comes with a shunt trip (STL) auxiliary release and a 2-switch + 1 trip alarm aux switch block — covers remote trip and status feedback without adding a separate module.
Power loss maxes at 19.7 W — manageable for panel thermal budgeting. Operating temp range is -25 °C to 70 °C, storage from -40 °C to 80 °C. The trip indicator and voltage trigger are standard on this variant, meaning you get visual trip flag and remote voltage sensing without extra hardware. No undervoltage release on this order code, so if you need UVR protection, that's a separate accessory.
