This is a line-protection design, meaning it's specified for feeder and main breaker positions in distribution panels, not for direct motor starting. ## Trip unit and protection flexibility The ETU850 is an electronic overcurrent release with communication capability. It supports adjustable N-conductor protection from OFF through 20% to 100% of the phase rating, which matters for panels feeding mixed single-phase and three-phase loads where neutral current can exceed phase imbalance. The trip indicator is absent, so fault-event logging relies on the communication interface rather than a local mechanical flag. Power loss at full rated current is 19.7 W — a figure to include in enclosure thermal calculations if the breaker is in a sealed, uncooled cabinet. Front-face protection is IP40, adequate for enclosed distribution boards but not for washdown areas. Dimensions are 181 mm height, 140 mm width, 86 mm depth.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-0KP46-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 440 kA at 41","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-0KP46-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 440 kA breaking capacity at 415 V AC.
