No communication module is fitted — this is a standalone line-protection device, not a networked power manager. The 3VA1116-4EF36-0CH0 measures 76.2 mm wide, 130 mm tall, and 70 mm deep. A trip indicator is present, so a quick visual scan of the panel face tells you which breaker cleared the fault.","metaTitle":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1116-4EF36-0CH0 MCCB, 160A, 3-Pole, 121kA","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1116-4EF36-0CH0 molded case circuit breaker, 160A rated, 3-pole, 121 kA breaking capacity at 240 VAC.
