At 690 V it still clears 11.9 kA, so it handles the fault current a large motor or transformer can kick back. ## Thermal derating and panel layout Full 160 A rating holds from 40 °C to 50 °C, then drops gently: 158 A at 55 °C, 155 A at 60 °C, 153 A at 65 °C, and 150 A at 70 °C. The 38 W maximum power loss matters for heat buildup inside a sealed cabinet; factor that into your thermal calc when stacking breakers side by side. ## Physical fit and the shunt trip detail Dimensions are 130 mm tall, 76.2 mm wide, 70 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint that drops into most SENTRON panelboards and DIN-rail adapters. Note there's no trip indicator and no undervoltage release on this variant; if you need a visual flag when it trips, spec a different option code.","metaTitle":"3VA1116-4EF36-0KA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, Shunt Trip","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1116-4EF36-0KA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A at 40 °C, 121 kA at 240 V, 3-pole, TM240 release, shunt trip.
