The 187 kA breaking capacity at 240 V and 121 kA at 415 V mean this breaker clears high-fault currents without cascading upstream — critical for main feeders or high-capacity distribution panels where the available fault current is substantial. At 690 V the interrupting rating drops to 17 kA, so verify the system voltage against the curve before specifying. The 160 A rating holds flat from 40 °C through 50 °C ambient. Above that the derating curve steps down: 153.6 A at 55 °C, 150.4 A at 60 °C, 147.2 A at 65 °C, and 144 A at 70 °C. Operating range spans -25 °C to 70 °C; storage extends from -40 °C to 80 °C. ## Auxiliary contacts and shunt trip The auxiliary release is a shunt trip (STL) — order code 3VA9688-0BL33 for the integrated auxiliary trip module if remote tripping is needed.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1116-5EF36-0KH0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 187 kA at 24","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1116-5EF36-0KH0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated current, 187 kA breaking capacity at 240 V. 3-pole line protection with TM240 release.
