At 500 V and 690 V it still holds 17 kA, so it covers 480 V and 600 V class systems without derating the interrupting rating below the fault level. ## Thermal-magnetic curve and temperature derating The overcurrent release is a TM220 — a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. At 55 °C it drops to 158 A, at 60 °C to 155 A, at 65 °C to 153 A, and at 70 °C to 150 A. ## Auxiliaries and panel fit Dimensions are 130 mm tall, 3 in wide, 2.8 in deep. If you need those functions, you're looking at a different suffix in the 3VA family.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1116-5EE36-0AC0 MCCB, 160 A, 187 kA at 240 V","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1116-5EE36-0AC0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated continuous current, 187 kA interrupting at 240 V. 3-pole, TM220 release, 2 aux switches.
