Interrupting capacity is the headline spec here: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. That puts it in the high-fault-current tier — suitable for service-entrance or transformer-fed switchboards where downstream breakers need a high SCCR upstream to coordinate. Thermal derating is published across the full operating range: full 160 A up to 50 °C, then steps down to 153.6 A at 55 °C, 150.4 A at 60 °C, 147.2 A at 65 °C, and 144 A at 70 °C. ## Integration — panel fit and wiring No auxiliary contacts or ground-fault module are included; those are add-on options if needed. The breaker is rated for 15,000 mechanical latching endurance cycles — typical for a fixed-mounted MCCB in a distribution panel that sees infrequent switching. No communication function, no phase-failure detection, and no voltage trigger are built in; this is a straightforward thermal-magnetic protective device.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1116-5EF36-0BA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 187 kA at 24","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1116-5EF36-0BA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated continuous current, interrupting up to 187 kA at 240 V.
