The undervoltage release (UVR) is built in, which means a voltage dip or intentional drop-out trips the breaker — common on safety-disconnect or emergency-stop circuits where you want the load isolated when control power vanishes. If your panel runs hot (stacked drives, transformer nearby), size the load side for the 70 °C figure, not the nameplate. Dimensions are 105 mm wide × 181 mm high × 86 mm deep — standard 3-pole MCCB footprint for a SENTRON 3VA frame.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-5HL32-0BC0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, ETU3","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2116-5HL32-0BC0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated current, 3-pole, ETU320 release, 187 kA at 240 V.

Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for the latest lead time and price."},{"question":"What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2116-5HL32-0BC0 at different voltages?","answer":"187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 79 kA at 500 V, and 4.25 kA at 690 V. The 240 V figure is the highest — typical for a utility transformer secondary — while the 690 V rating drops sharply, so verify coordination if your system runs at that voltage."},{"question":"Does 3VA2116-5HL32-0BC0 include an undervoltage release?","answer":"Yes, it comes with a factory-installed undervoltage release (UVR) as the auxiliary release. The UVR trips the breaker when control voltage drops below the dropout threshold — useful for safety circuits or sequenced power-down schemes."},{"question":"What is the closest functional second-source to 3VA2116-5HL32-0BC0?","answer":"The 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0 is a smaller-frame SENTRON MCCB with a lower current rating and different trip unit. It will not drop into the same panel cutout or match the 160 A rating — the 3VA2116 frame is physically larger and carries higher interrupting capacity. No direct drop-in second-source exists; the 3VA2116-5HL32-0BC0 is the correct part for its rating class."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA2116-5HL32-0BC0","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA2116-5HL32-0BC0 when reusing this data.
