Short-circuit breaking capacity varies with system voltage: 75.6 kA at 240 V AC, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V AC. The 690 V rating is the rated operating voltage, so this breaker can serve 480 V or 600 V class panels with ample SCCR headroom; the 11.9 kA at 690 V is the limiting case for high-voltage industrial grids. Rated current holds at 160 A from 40 °C through 50 °C, then derates to 158 A at 55 °C, 155 A at 60 °C, 153 A at 65 °C, and 150 A at 70 °C.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1116-3GF42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 4-Pole, TM24","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1116-3GF42-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A at 40 °C, 4-pole, TM240 release, 75.6 kA at 240 V.
