That thermal curve matters when the breaker shares a warm panel with drives or transformers — you don't lose headroom until the ambient climbs past 50 °C. Breaking capacity is the headline number that decides coordination: 220 kA at 240 V AC, 154 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, 30 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V. That's a selectivity win for the panel designer. The TM120M overcurrent release is a thermal-magnetic type — thermal element handles overloads (inverse time), magnetic element handles short-circuits (instantaneous). This is a straightforward, field-reliable MCCB for motor branch circuits where adjustable electronic trip isn't needed. Dimensions: 105 mm wide, 158 mm tall, 70 mm deep. 3-pole footprint. IP40 on the front. Lifecycle stage is current — active-production part in the SENTRON 3VA family. No end-of-life notice. Sourced and quoted to order.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1216-6MH32-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 220 kA","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1216-6MH32-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated at 40 °C, 220 kA breaking at 240 V. 3-pole, TM120M release.
