Breaking capacity varies by system voltage: 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. That spread tells you the 3VA1116-3GF46-0AA0 is sized for 400 V-class distribution where fault currents are moderate — it is not a high-fault 690 V breaker, but at 240 V it handles serious industrial fault levels. ## Mounting and integration — DIN-rail footprint The breaker measures 101.6 mm wide, 130 mm tall, and 70 mm deep — a standard 4-pole MCCB footprint that snaps onto DIN rail in the panel. Front IP40 protection means it is suited for general indoor distribution boards where tools or fingers might contact the front face but not for washdown zones.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1116-3GF46-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 4-Pole","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1116-3GF46-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A, 4-pole, TM240 release.
