Its interrupting capacity reaches 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, and 75.6 kA at 440 V — numbers that tell you it handles high-fault utility feeds or transformer secondaries without cascading upstream. The 160 A rating holds flat from 40 °C to 50 °C, then begins a gentle derating curve: 153.6 A at 55 °C, 150.4 A at 60 °C, 147.2 A at 65 °C, and 144 A at 70 °C. For a panel that runs warm — say, 55 °C ambient — you still have 153.6 A of continuous capacity, which is tighter than the headline number but still generous for a 160 A frame. ## What is not included The breaker ships without auxiliary contacts, undervoltage release, ground-fault monitoring, phase-failure detection, or communication function. The only integrated auxiliary release is the shunt trip (STL), which uses order code 3VA9688-0BL33 for the trip coil.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1116-5EF42-0KA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 4-Pole, 187","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1116-5EF42-0KA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A, 4-pole, 187 kA at 240 V.
