The 3-pole unit handles fault interruption with a breaking capacity of 440 kA at 240 V, 330 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 220 kA at 500 V, and 52.5 kA at 690 V, so the same frame can be specified across multiple voltage levels without swapping hardware.
The 3VA2216-8HM32-0AA0 measures 105 mm wide, 181 mm high, and 86 mm deep — a 3-pole frame that fits standard distribution board cutouts. The depth of 86 mm (3.39 in) means it clears shallow backpanels where deeper MCCBs would force a taller enclosure.
Thermal and Electrical Headroom
Maximum power loss is 19.7 W at rated load — low enough that ventilation slots in a standard IP3X panel suffice; no forced cooling required. The adjustable thermal-magnetic trip range spans 240 A to 1 920 A (the full-scale value is 160 A, with an initial setting of 32 A), giving the specifying engineer flexibility to match cable and load without changing the breaker frame.
