The interrupting capacity reaches 121 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, 17 kA at 500 V, and 11.9 kA at 690 V, which gives selectivity headroom for most distribution panels without cascading upstream. Maximum power loss is 33 W. Compliance documentation (UL, IEC, RoHS, REACH) is available from the manufacturer on request.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1216-4EF32-0JC0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1216-4EF32-0JC0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated current, 3-pole, 121 kA breaking capacity at 240 V.
