Four poles, line-protection design, with an ETU320 electronic overcurrent release that gives adjustable N-conductor protection (OFF, 50%, 100%). Breaking capacity hits 440 kA at 415 V AC and 187 kA at 690 V AC — that is the interrupting rating the breaker can clear under fault without welding contacts or cascading upstream. Dimensions are 181 mm high, 140 mm wide, 86 mm deep. ## How the ETU320 release shapes selectivity The ETU320 is an electronic trip unit — not a thermal-magnetic. That means the long-time, short-time, and instantaneous pickup bands are adjustable, which matters for selective coordination downstream. The N-conductor protection can be set to OFF, 50%, or 100% of the phase pickup, giving the panel designer control over ground-fault coordination without a separate module.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-0HL46-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 4-Pole, 440","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2116-0HL46-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 4-pole, ETU320 release, 440 kA at 415 V.
