Current rating holds at 160 A from 40 °C through 50 °C, then derates linearly to 142.4 A at 70 °C. The thermal curve matters for panel builders packing breakers into a confined enclosure — if the ambient inside the panel runs above 50 °C, the effective continuous current drops. Plan the load accordingly. Dimensions: 105 mm wide, 158 mm high, 70 mm deep. No auxiliary contact version is fitted as standard; the only integrated auxiliary is the shunt trip. If the BOM calls for any of those, this variant is the wrong pick — the shunt trip alone covers remote tripping via a control signal.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1216-5EF32-0HA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, 187","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1216-5EF32-0HA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated continuous current, 3-pole, breaking capacity 187 kA at 240 V AC.
