That's a shallow derate curve — you lose only 10 % at the top of the operating range, so it's a solid pick for a warm enclosure. The interrupting ratings are: 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 10.5 kA at 690 V. Those numbers govern fault-clearing capability at the available fault current on your secondary side. The integrated auxiliary release is a shunt trip (STL) — order code 3VA9688-0BL32 if you need the matching accessory. Footprint is 70 mm deep, 76.2 mm wide, 130 mm tall — a 3-pole MCCB that fits a standard panel-mount cutout. The shunt trip release is built in, not a field-installed kit, which saves panel-build labor.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1116-3EF32-0JH0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, Line","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1116-3EF32-0JH0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 75.6 kA at 240 V, TM240 release, shunt trip, active production.

The thermal element protects against sustained overloads; the magnetic element trips instantly on short-circuit currents above the magnetic pickup threshold. It's a fixed-trip design — no interchangeable rating plugs — so the breaker is matched to a 160 A load."},{"question":"Where can I buy the 3VA1116-3EF32-0JH0?","answer":"This part is sourced and quoted to order through independent distribution against an RFQ.
