Siemens 3VF2216-0VQ41-0AA0 VF100 Molded Case Circuit Breaker

Siemens VF100 molded-case circuit breaker, model 3VF2216-0VQ41-0AA0, is a single-pole protective device from the VF100 family designed for low-voltage distribution in industrial environments. It is rated for 80 A and configured for 240–415 VAC operation, with compatibility for 50/60 Hz electrical systems, making it suitable for both North American and international installations that fall within that voltage window. The 3VF2216-0VQ41-0AA0 designation identifies an 80 amp, 1-pole unit intended to protect individual feeders or circuits within electrical panels and machine control circuits. As a molded-case breaker, it integrates with standard panel infrastructure to interrupt fault current and prevent damage to conductors and devices when overload or short-circuit conditions occur. The VF100 line is known for compact form and straightforward installation in distribution enclosures, providing reliable overcurrent protection for circuits rated up to 80 A in a single-pole configuration. This specific variant is used in applications where a single hot conductor requires protection up to 80 A in systems that operate at 240 to 415 V AC, including machinery control circuits, feeders, and panelized power distribution in industrial facilities.
