Product details

That's unusual; most breakers start dropping current above 40 °C. The ETU550 gives you adjustable long-time pickup (Ir) and short-time delay (tsd) from 0.5 to 0.5 s, so you can shape the trip curve to the load without swapping the breaker. Breaking capacity drops as voltage climbs: 330 kA at 240 V, 242 kA at 415/440 V, 187 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V. For a 480 V panel, you're looking at roughly 187 kA SCCR — still well above most distribution transformer ratings.

The 3-pole block lands on a DIN rail or direct-mount plate. Power loss maxes at 19.7 W, so ventilation around the breaker is fine in a typical enclosure; no forced cooling needed. Communication function is onboard, which matters if you're feeding trip data back to a PLC or BMS.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA2216-7JP32-0AA0?

At 240 V it's rated for 330 kA, at 415 V and 440 V for 242 kA, at 500 V for 187 kA, and at 690 V for 4.5 kA. Choose the voltage column that matches your system.

Where can I buy 3VA2216-7JP32-0AA0 and get current pricing?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm number.

What trip unit does 3VA2216-7JP32-0AA0 use?

It's fitted with the ETU550 electronic trip unit, which gives you adjustable long-time pickup and short-time delay settings. The response time for tr (long-time) is adjustable from 0.5 to 25 seconds; tsd (short-time) is adjustable from 0.05 to 0.5 seconds.
