The 75.6 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V AC means it can safely clear a fault up to that level without upstream devices needing to coordinate; at 415 V that drops to 52.5 kA, and at 690 V to 11.9 kA, so verify the available fault current at your system voltage. This is a 3-pole MCCB with a 70 mm depth and 76.2 mm width — it fits standard Siemens 3VA1 panel footprints and mounts via the rear screw terminals. The built-in undervoltage release (UVR) drops the breaker if control voltage is lost, which is common in emergency-stop or safety-disconnect chains where loss of a 24 VDC control supply must trip the main breaker. Two auxiliary switches plus a trip-alarm switch are factory-fitted, so you get status feedback (open/closed/tripped) without adding external contact blocks.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1116-3EF36-0CH0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 75.6 kA at 2","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1116-3EF36-0CH0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated at 40 °C, 75.6 kA breaking at 240 V. 3-pole, line protection, undervoltage release.

The 3VA1116-3EF36-0CH0 is rated 160 A versus the 3VA1110-5EF32-0AM0's lower rating, and it carries an undervoltage release plus two auxiliary switches and a trip-alarm switch — verify that the control wiring for the UVR and aux contacts matches your existing circuit.
