Breaking capacity is substantial at the lower distribution voltages: 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.
Maximum power loss is 19.7 W — modest for a 160 A frame. In a densely packed enclosure, that loss figure helps when calculating internal temperature rise and ventilation requirements.
Width is the critical dimension for panel layout — a 105 mm wide 3-pole MCCB fits standard distribution panel cutouts and busbar spacing. Depth of 86 mm leaves clearance for rear-mounted busbars and wiring troughs without requiring extra-deep enclosures. The breaker ships as a basic switch (base order code 3VA2216-7MN32-0AA0) with the shunt trip installed. No communication module, no auxiliary switch block — it is a standalone thermal-magnetic or electronic-trip device (designated for motor protection) meant for hardwired control circuits. Trip indicator is not fitted on this variant.
