That adjustable magnetic threshold lets you coordinate with downstream devices without oversizing the breaker for motor inrush or transformer energization. Breaking capacity is the headline number for a main or feeder breaker: this unit delivers 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, and 75.6 kA at 440 V. Ambient temperature derating is built into the spec: the breaker carries the full 160 A up to 50 °C, then drops to 158 A at 55 °C, 155 A at 60 °C, 153 A at 65 °C, and 150 A at 70 °C. The breaker measures 70 mm deep, 101.6 mm wide, and 130 mm high — a standard 4-pole MCCB footprint for DIN-rail or mounting-plate installation. The 100% N-conductor protection design means the neutral pole is fully rated and trips with the phase poles, not just a switched neutral. ## DC rating and application flexibility The breaker carries a maximum DC operational voltage rating of 600 V, which opens up use in DC bus distribution or battery-bank protection — not just AC feeder duty. The short-circuit design note references the 3VA device manual for DC network switching values, so consult that document for specific DC breaking capacity figures. An optional motor drive is available as a product extension for remote tripping or reset.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1116-5GD46-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 4-Pole, TM21","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1116-5GD46-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated, 4-pole, TM210 thermal-magnetic release, 187 kA at 240 V.
