The SENTRON 3VA2216-7MS32-0AF0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) in the starter protection version, rated for 160 A continuous current across the full -25 °C to 70 °C operating range.
At 415 V and 440 V the breaker interrupts 242 kA; at 500 V it clears 187 kA. Those numbers drop sharply at 690 V to 4.5 kA — a reminder that this MCCB is optimized for 240–500 V distribution, not 690 V motor circuits.
330 kA at 240 V, which is the highest interrupting rating on this breaker and governs its use in high-fault utility feeds.
