The interrupting capacity is the headline: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and still 17 kA at 690 V. The 4-pole design covers three-phase plus neutral, common for North American and some European distribution schemes where the neutral needs switching. ## Panel fit and integration — 70 mm depth, 101.6 mm width The 101.6 mm width (4 inches) is the standard 4-pole MCCB footprint; it occupies four 25.4 mm pole positions on the DIN rail or mounting plate. ## Power loss and thermal management — 38 W at full load Maximum power loss is 38 W at rated current. That's the heat the breaker dumps into the enclosure at 160 A. In a multi-breaker panel, sum the losses and check the cabinet's dissipation — 38 W per pole is manageable, but a dense lineup of six or eight breakers can push a small enclosure past its thermal limit.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1116-5GD42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 4-Pole, 187","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1116-5GD42-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A, 4-pole, TM210 trip unit. 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V.
