Product details

What this MCCB does on a motor branch

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2216-7MN32-0AB0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 160 A continuous current (Iu) at 40 °C, built specifically for motor protection — it includes phase failure detection and an ETU350M electronic overcurrent release that handles the inrush and overload profile of a motor start without nuisance tripping.

Footprint is 105 mm wide by 181 mm tall by 86 mm deep — standard 3-pole MCCB envelope for a 160 A frame. It bolts to a mounting plate or backpanel; no DIN-rail clip on this class of breaker. Auxiliary contact version ships with 2 HP-rated auxiliary switches built in, so you get status feedback to the PLC without adding a separate contact block.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB at 415 V?

242 kA at 415 V, which is the same rating as at 440 V; at 690 V it still holds 52.5 kA.

Where can I buy 3VA2216-7MN32-0AB0?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels — availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What does the ETU350M release do?

The ETU350M is an electronic overcurrent release with motor-protection curves — it provides adjustable thermal and magnetic pickup, plus phase-failure detection, so it protects the motor without tripping on normal starting current.
