The short-circuit release (Ii) is fixed at 1,600 A — ten times the continuous rating — so it's coordinated for fast clearing on hard faults without nuisance trips on moderate overloads. ## Panel fit and thermal constraints At 25.4 mm wide (1 inch) and 70 mm deep, this breaker takes one standard DIN-rail position. The thermal derating curve is worth checking before you lock the BOM: full 160 A is good up to 50 °C, then it steps down to 158 A at 55 °C, 155 A at 60 °C, 153 A at 65 °C, and 150 A at 70 °C. If your enclosure runs hot or you're stacking breakers tight, that derating eats into your headroom. Maximum power loss is 12.67 W — negligible for a single unit, but add it up across a multi-breaker panel. ## DC capability and environmental limits The maximum rated DC operational voltage is 125 V — relevant if you're using it in a DC distribution bus or a battery-backed circuit. The insulation voltage (Ui) is rated at 500 V, so it's comfortable in standard 480 V AC panels.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1116-5ED16-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160A, 1-Pole, 25.4m","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1116-5ED16-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160A continuous, 1-pole, 121kA at 240V.
