Product details

Breaking capacity is the headline number here: 440 kA at 240 VAC, 330 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 220 kA at 500 V, and still 52.5 kA at 690 V. The 19.7 W maximum power loss is manageable for a 160 A frame; plan for ventilation if packing multiple units in a sealed cabinet.

Communication function is built in, so this variant supports integration with higher-level monitoring without an external module. For panel builders wiring a BOM that calls out 3VA2216-8JP42-0AA0, the -8JQ42-0AA0 shares the same frame size and terminal layout — it swaps in without rewiring, just confirm the ground-fault logic matches your scheme.
