That 160 A rating holds steady up to 50 °C (–), then derates to 150 A at 70 °C — useful to know if this lands in a hot panel or next to other heat sources. The interrupting capacity hits 75.6 kA at 240 V and 52.5 kA at 415 V, so it handles substantial fault currents on industrial distribution without needing an upstream current-limiting fuse. Footprint is 101.6 mm wide by 130 mm tall by 70 mm deep (–). The 4-pole body takes up roughly 4 inches of DIN-rail width — check your enclosure fill factor if you're swapping into an existing panel. The N-conductor is protected at 100%, so this breaker handles full-phase neutral current without derating the neutral pole.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1116-3GE42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 4-Pole, 75.6","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1116-3GE42-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A, 4-pole, 75.6 kA at 240 V.
