Product details

That 160 A holds flat from 40 °C up to 50 °C, then derates to 144 A at 70 °C — so in a warm enclosure you still get headroom for a full-load motor draw near the nameplate. The interrupting capacity is the headline: 330 kA at 240 V, 242 kA at 415 V, and still 52.5 kA at 690 V. The UVR means if control power drops, the breaker trips; that's standard for emergency-stop chains or undervoltage protection on motor feeders.

Thermal management and power loss

Maximum power loss is 75 W at rated current. That's not trivial — in a sealed, high-density panel, account for that heat in the thermal budget. The derating curve above 50 °C is gradual (losing about 6 A per 10 °C step), so you can still run it at 150 A in a 60 °C ambient without tripping on thermal memory.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2216-7MN32-0BC0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. Pricing and stock are confirmed at quote time through our independent distribution channels — no fixed price or count is published here because market conditions vary with quantity and lead time.

What are the key ratings for this MCCB?

Rated continuous current Iu is 160 A. Interrupting capacity reaches 330 kA at 240 V, 242 kA at 415 V, and 52.5 kA at 690 V. The overcurrent release is an electronic ETU350M with phase failure detection and an undervoltage release.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA2216-7MN32-0BC0?

Siemens SENTRON products typically carry IEC/EN 60947-2 certification, CE marking, and UL recognition under the 3VA series. Specific documentation (RoHS, REACH, UL file number) should be confirmed at quote time, as compliance declarations vary by production batch and target market.
