At 415 V — a typical three-phase distribution voltage in many regions — the 154 kA SCCR gives substantial headroom for high-fault installations without cascading upstream breakers. The breaker carries a full 160 A from 40°C through 50°C ambient, then derates to 156 A at 55°C, 151 A at 60°C, 147 A at 65°C, and 142 A at 70°C. In a sealed enclosure or high-ambient machine cabinet, that derating curve is the real selection limit — not the 40°C nameplate. The 105 mm width (4.13 in) and 158 mm height (6.22 in) fit standard SENTRON 3VA panel footprints; depth is 70 mm (2.76 in).","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1216-6EE32-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, TM22","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1216-6EE32-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated at 40°C, 3-pole, TM220 release, 220 kA at 240 V.
