The interrupting capacity is substantial: 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. Power loss is 25.5 W maximum — a figure to factor into enclosure thermal calculations, especially in a crowded panel. ## What the shunt trip and auxiliary switches mean for integration The shunt trip (STL) on this MCCB lets a remote pushbutton, safety relay, or PLC digital output trip the breaker without a handle throw — useful for emergency-stop circuits or remote load shedding. The two auxiliary switches HQ provide form-C contacts that follow the breaker's open/closed and tripped status, so a controls integrator can wire them back to a DI module for status monitoring without adding a separate contact block. No undervoltage release is fitted, so the breaker does not drop out on a voltage dip — that is a deliberate choice for applications where nuisance tripping on a sag is unacceptable.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-5HL32-0JC0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, Shun","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2116-5HL32-0JC0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, 187 kA at 240 V.
