Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2216-7KQ32-0AA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 160 A continuous current, with an adjustable thermal-magnetic trip unit covering 32 A to 160 A. Its interrupting ratings are 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 — the 690 V figure drops sharply, so confirm the available fault current at that voltage before specifying.

The 160 A continuous rating is the breaker's thermal capacity at 40 °C ambient; it holds flat at 160 A from 40 °C through 70 °C (–), so no derating is needed across typical panel ambient temperatures. The adjustable trip range from 32 A to 160 A lets you match the breaker to the actual load without swapping the frame — useful for BOM consolidation when the same panel build serves multiple current tiers. That makes it suitable for panels where remote monitoring or ground-fault detection is required without a separate relay.

Verify gland-plate clearance for the 86 mm depth, especially in shallow enclosures.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA2216-7KQ32-0AA0 at different voltages?

The interrupting ratings are 330 kA at 240 V, 242 kA at 415 V, 242 kA at 440 V, 187 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V (–). The 690 V figure is significantly lower, so verify available fault current at that voltage.

Where can I buy 3VA2216-7KQ32-0AA0?

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

Does 3VA2216-7KQ32-0AA0 support communication or ground-fault monitoring?

Yes, it includes communication and other measurement functions, and a ground-fault monitoring version using summation current formation on the L-conductor.
