The breaking capacity is 220 kA at 240 V AC, dropping to 154 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 500/690 V — that 220 kA figure means it safely interrupts faults up to 220,000 A at 240 V without cascading upstream, critical for high-fault-capacity service entrances or transformer secondaries. The UVR (undervoltage release) is the key differentiator on this variant: if the control voltage dips or fails, the breaker opens and stays open until manually reset — standard for safety circuits where a machine must not restart automatically after a power loss. The TM240 release is a fixed thermal-magnetic type, not electronic, so no auxiliary power is needed for the trip unit; it's self-powered from the line side. ## Where it goes — panel integration Dimensions: 130 mm height, 76.2 mm width (3 inches — three 1-inch pole spaces), 70 mm depth. The 3-pole width matches a standard 3-inch cutout in panel gland plates. Power loss is 40.5 W maximum at rated load — account for that heat in enclosure sizing, especially if grouped with other breakers.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1116-6EF36-0DA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160A, 220kA at 240V","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1116-6EF36-0DA0 molded case circuit breaker, 3-pole, 160 A rated at 40 °C, 220 kA breaking capacity at 240 V AC, with TM240 thermal-magnetic release and undervol","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":null,"categoryPath":["Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCB)"],"specifications":{"Depth":"70 mm","Width":"76.2 mm","Height":"130 mm","Maximum":"0 A","Minimum":"0 A","at 240 V":"220 kA","at 415 V":"154 kA","at 440 V":"75.6 kA","at 500 V":"17 kA","at 690 V":"17 kA","at 40 °C":"160 A","at 45 °C":"160 A","at 50 °C":"160 A","at 55 °C":"158 A","at 60 °C":"155 A","at 65 °C":"153 A","at 70 °C":"150 A","Depth [In]":"2.76 in","Width [In]":"3 in","Height [In]":"5.12 in","Trip Indicator":"No","Number Of Poles":"3","Voltage Trigger":"No","lifecycle_stage":"current","Product Brand Name":"SENTRON","Product Designation":"Molded case circuit breaker","Undervoltage Release":"Yes","Design Of The Product":"Line protection","Communication Function":"No","During Storage / Maximum":"80 °C","During Storage / Minimum":"-40 °C","power loss [W] / maximum":"40.5 W","During Operation / Maximum":"70 °C","During Operation / Minimum":"-25 °C","Other Measurement Function":"No","Of The Supplied Basic Switch":"3VA11166EF360AA0","Design Of The Auxiliary Release":"undervoltage release (UVR)","Ground-Fault Monitoring Version":"Without","Insulation Voltage / Rated Value":"800 V","Design Of The Overcurrent Release":"TM240","Design Of Short-Circuit Protection":"For switching power values in DC networks, see the 3VA molded case circuit breaker device manual; link to be found under Service & Support in the last chapter","protection class IP / on the front":"IP40","Of The Integrated Auxiliary Trip Unit":"3VA9608-0BB25","Product Function / Grounding Protection":"No","operating voltage / at AC / rated value":"690 V","operating voltage / at DC / rated value":"500 V","reference code / according to IEC 81346-2":"Q","Product Extension / Optional / Motor Drive":"Yes","Protection Function Of The Overcurrent Release":"LI","number of CO contacts / for auxiliary contacts":"0","Switching Capacity Class Of The Circuit Breaker":"H","Mechanical Service Life (Operating Cycles) / Typical":"20 000","Type Of Electrical Connection / For Main Current Circuit":"box terminal on both sides","Arrangement Of Electrical Connectors / For Main Current Circuit":"Front terminal"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":"https://support.industry.siemens.com/webbackend/api/ProductSupport/TechnicalData?language=en&region=cn&productId=77014&mlfb=3VA1116-6EF36-0DA0","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/3VA1116-6EF36-0DA0/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy the 3VA1116-6EF36-0DA0 and get a price?","answer":"Sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution.
