The TM240 release is fixed-trip; no interchangeable rating plugs. At 55 °C it drops to 153.6 A, at 60 °C to 150.4 A, at 65 °C to 147.2 A, and at 70 °C to 144 A. Footprint is 130 mm high, 76.2 mm wide (roughly 3 inches — standard MCCB width for 160 A frame), 70 mm deep. No auxiliary contacts fitted; no communication module. The UVR coil is the 3VA9608-0BB25 — verify coil voltage against your control circuit before wiring. The breaker accepts screw terminals; torque values per the device manual. For a 160 A feed, plan for cable lugs sized to the terminal pad — typically M8 or M10 studs depending on the lug kit. ## Comparison with 3VA1010-2ED32-0JA0 The 3VA1010-2ED32-0JA0 is a smaller-frame 100 A MCCB from the same SENTRON family. The 3VA1116-4EF36-0DA0 steps up to 160 A continuous and adds the undervoltage release as a factory-fit option. Both use the TM thermal-magnetic release, but the 160 A frame has higher interrupting ratings across the voltage range. If your panel was laid out for the 100 A frame, the 160 A unit is physically wider and deeper — check the mounting footprint before assuming a drop-in swap.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1116-4EF36-0DA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 121 kA at 24","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1116-4EF36-0DA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated continuous current, TM240 release, 121 kA breaking capacity at 240 V.
