Its breaking capacity reaches 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at both 500 V and 690 V — covering standard industrial distribution voltages across the board. ## Thermal derating and real-world fit The 160 A rating holds steady through 50 °C ambient; above that it derates to 158 A at 55 °C, 155 A at 60 °C, 153 A at 65 °C, and 150 A at 70 °C. In a warm panel — say a food-plant enclosure near ovens — that 150 A floor at 70 °C still leaves headroom for a 125 A continuous load. ## Panel footprint and wiring Depth is 70 mm, width 76.2 mm, height 130 mm. ## What the TM220 release means in practice The TM220 designation indicates a fixed thermal-magnetic trip: the thermal element protects against sustained overloads, the magnetic element against short-circuit currents. It's a straightforward, no-frills MCCB for a fixed-load application where you don't need remote monitoring or adjustable trip curves.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1116-5EE36-0KA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, 70 m","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1116-5EE36-0KA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A at 40°C, 3-pole, TM220 release.

The main difference is the current rating: this unit is 160 A, while the 3VA1110-5EF36-0AD0 is a lower-rated variant. Check the load-side conductor sizing and upstream protection before swapping."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for this MCCB?","answer":"The SENTRON series carries standard industrial certifications including IEC/EN 60947-2. Specific documentation (RoHS, REACH, UL listing) is available through Siemens' support portal linked in the device manual. The evidence does not list a specific UL file number, so verify UL status with the manufacturer for your jurisdiction."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA1116-5EE36-0KA0","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA1116-5EE36-0KA0 when reusing this data.
