Breaking capacity hits 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 10.5 kA at 690 V, which covers most industrial distribution panels and motor control centers without needing an upstream current-limiting fuse. The 160 A rating holds flat from 40 °C up to 50 °C, then derates to 153.6 A at 55 °C, 150.4 A at 60 °C, 147.2 A at 65 °C, and 144 A at 70 °C. ## Panel integration","metaTitle":"3VA1116-3EF32-0AH0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 75.6 kA at 240 V","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1116-3EF32-0AH0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A, 3-pole, TM240 release, 75.6 kA at 240 V.

The deciding difference is the continuous current rating — the 3VA1116 carries 160 A versus the lower-rated sibling — and the TM240 release vs a different trip curve. No rewiring needed if the bus bars and cable lugs are sized for 160 A."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for this MCCB?","answer":"The SENTRON 3VA series carries CE marking for the European low-voltage directive, and Siemens publishes a declaration of conformity.
