That's a high-interrupting rating for a frame this size — it's built for high-fault locations like a transformer secondary or a service entrance. The 80 A rating is the nominal frame current, but the breaker's actual continuous current depends on ambient temperature. At 55 °C it's 158 A, at 60 °C it's 155 A, at 65 °C it's 153 A, and at 70 °C it's 150 A. The maximum power loss is 38 W, which is modest for a 4-pole breaker at this current; helps keep the internal temperature rise manageable. That's a 4-inch wide footprint on the DIN rail or panel-mount plate — standard for a 4-pole MCCB in this frame class. Keep it simple: wire it, torque it, move on.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1116-5FE42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 80 A, 4-Pole, 187 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1116-5FE42-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 80 A rated, 4-pole, breaking capacity 187 kA at 240 V.

Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or lead-time number is published here."},{"question":"What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1116-5FE42-0AA0 at different voltages?","answer":"At 240 V it's 187 kA, at 415 V it's 121 kA, at 440 V it's 75.6 kA, and at 500 V or 690 V it's 17 kA. These are the maximum fault currents the breaker can safely interrupt at those voltages."},{"question":"Will 3VA1116-5FE42-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1112-5EE32-0AA0 without rewiring?","answer":"Both are 4-pole SENTRON MCCBs in the same 3VA frame family, so the mounting footprint and bus-bar spacing are identical. The 3VA1116-5FE42-0AA0 is rated 80 A versus the 3VA1112-5EE32-0AA0's lower current, so as long as the upstream protection and conductor sizing support 80 A, it's a mechanical drop-in. No rewiring needed."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3VA1116-5FE42-0AA0?","answer":"As a SENTRON MCCB, it carries the usual Siemens declarations for RoHS, REACH, and CE marking. UL and IEC certifications are standard for the 3VA series.
