{"schemaVersion":"matrix-product-facts/v1","identity":{"mpn":"3VA1116-5EE32-0AF0","brand":"Siemens","brandSlug":"siemens","productSlug":"3VA1116-5EE32-0AF0","canonicalUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA1116-5EE32-0AF0","factsUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/3VA1116-5EE32-0AF0","rawCanonicalId":null},"summary":{"shortDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1116-5EE32-0AF0, molded case circuit breaker, 3-pole, 160 A, TM220 release, 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, 17 kA at 690 V, IP40 front, 70 mm depth, 76.2 mm width, 130 mm height.","salesMarkdown":"The interrupting capacity steps down with system voltage: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. At 415 V, the 121 kA rating covers high-capacity industrial feeds where the transformer impedance alone doesn't limit the fault. ## Thermal derating and the TM220 release Above that, derating is gradual: 153.6 A at 55 °C, 150.4 A at 60 °C, 147.2 A at 65 °C, and 144 A at 70 °C. If your panel ambient runs at 60 °C, you lose about 6% of the continuous rating — still within the margin for most 150 A feeder designs. ## Panel fit and auxiliary contacts The 3VA1116-5EE32-0AF0 measures 130 mm high, 76.2 mm wide, and 70 mm deep. The 76.2 mm width is a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint — it occupies three 25.4 mm (1-inch) module positions on a DIN rail or panel-mount base. ## Endurance and mechanical life That's the number of mechanical on-off cycles the mechanism is designed to survive under normal conditions. For a main feeder breaker that cycles once or twice a day, that's roughly 20 years of service. For a breaker that sees frequent switching — say, as a disconnect for a machine that cycles every hour — the endurance becomes a planning factor. The trip indicator gives a visual flag when the breaker has tripped on fault, which speeds troubleshooting on a multi-breaker panel.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1116-5EE32-0AF0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 187 kA at 24","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1116-5EE32-0AF0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated continuous current, 187 kA interrupting at 240 V. 3-pole, TM220 release, IP40 front.

The 3VA1116-5EE32-0AF0 carries a 160 A frame with a TM220 release; the 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0 is a 125 A frame with a different release curve. They share the same physical footprint and mounting pattern, so a panel designed for one can accept the other without rewiring — just swap the breaker and adjust the overload settings if the load changed."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for this MCCB?","answer":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA series breakers carry IEC 60947-2 certification as standard.
