The 105 mm width and 86 mm depth mean it slots into standard SENTRON mounting footprints without re-spacing the busbars. This breaker's short-circuit capacity drops as system voltage climbs: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415/440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. ## Thermal performance and power loss Maximum power loss is 25.5 W, which matters for heat buildup in a densely packed panel. If you're stacking several of these in a row, factor that dissipation into your ventilation or forced-air calculation.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-5HL32-0AF0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, 187","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5HL32-0AF0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, 187 kA breaking at 240 V.
