It breaks up to 330 kA at 240 V AC, 242 kA at 415 V, and still handles 187 kA at 500 V — high enough for most industrial distribution boards where fault currents can spike near the transformer secondary. The built-in shunt trip (STL) release lets a remote signal — from an emergency-stop circuit or a PLC output — trip the breaker without a manual action, common in safety circuits or automated shutdown sequences. Phase failure detection is included, so the breaker will trip if one phase drops out, protecting three-phase motors from single-phasing damage.
The 3VA2216-7MN32-0KA0 measures 105 mm wide, 181 mm high, and 86 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint that fits most DIN-rail or panel-mount enclosures without re-drilling.
