No ground-fault monitoring built in (specified as 'without'), and no undervoltage release or communication function on this variant. Rated insulation voltage 800 V, operating temperature range -25 °C to 70 °C, storage from -40 °C to 80 °C. The 105 mm width means it occupies three pole spaces. No voltage-trip or shunt-trip accessory on this variant — if you need remote tripping, you will add an external undervoltage release module (not included). The basic switch part number is 3VA21165HL360AA0, which is the internal mechanism; the auxiliary switch set is a 3-switch HQ block. If you are replacing an older 3VA1 frame, verify the auxiliary wiring — the HQ contact arrangement may differ from the previous generation.","metaTitle":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5HL36-0AD0 MCCB, 160 A, 187 kA at 24","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5HL36-0AD0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 187 kA at 240 VAC breaking capacity. 3-pole, line protection.
