Breaking capacity hits 75.6 kA at 240 V AC, 52.5 kA at 415 V, and still holds 11.9 kA at 690 V, so it handles high-fault utility feeds without cascading upstream. ## Ratings that matter for panel fit Current rating holds flat at 160 A from 40 °C up to 50 °C, then derates to 158 A at 55 °C and 150 A at 70 °C — that's a gentle slope, so you don't lose much headroom in a warm enclosure. If you need adjustable thermal or electronic trip, you'd look at the 3VA1 with ETU releases instead. Dimensions are 101.6 mm wide, 130 mm tall, 70 mm deep — standard SENTRON 3VA1 footprint for 160 A frame. The breaker accepts optional motor drive (listed as available) for remote trip or reset. No communication function onboard; this is a standalone thermal-magnetic MCCB.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1116-3FE42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 4-Pole, 75.6","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1116-3FE42-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A, 4-pole, TM220 release, 75.6 kA at 240 V.
