The 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, and 79 kA at 500 V, keep it viable across common industrial voltages without stepping up to a larger frame. The ETU320 release provides electronic overload and short-circuit protection with adjustable settings, making it suitable for feeder circuits where precise coordination with downstream breakers is needed. At 55 °C it drops to 154 A, at 60 °C to 148 A, and at 70 °C to 136 A. If your enclosure runs hot near the upper operating limit of 70 °C, plan for that 15 % reduction from the nameplate. The maximum power loss of 28 W should be factored into your thermal budget, especially in a sealed or high-density panel. The undervoltage release coil and auxiliary contact wiring share the same terminal zone; verify free-wheel diode polarity on the UVR coil if your control circuit uses DC switching. The ETU320 is powered by internal current sensing — no external control power needed for the trip unit itself.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-5HL32-0DH0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, ETU3","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2116-5HL32-0DH0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated, 3-pole, ETU320 release, 187 kA at 240 V.

The difference is in the auxiliary contact configuration and the trip unit — the -0DH0 includes an undervoltage release and a 2+1 auxiliary contact block, while the -0AK0 has a different auxiliary contact version. The wiring for the main power path is a drop-in; the control wiring for the UVR and aux contacts will differ."},{"question":"What are the key ratings for this MCCB?","answer":"Rated continuous current Iu is 160 A at 40 °C, with a breaking capacity of 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.
