Common in safety circuits where loss of control power should kill the main feed. ## Thermal performance and panel fit That's unusual for a molded case breaker; most start dropping above 40 °C. It means you can pack this into a hot panel or near other heat sources without recalculating the load schedule. The 105 mm width is three pole spaces at 35 mm each, so it occupies the same DIN-rail or mounting-plate real estate as any 3-pole MCCB in this class. At 415 V (common in industrial three-phase worldwide) it still holds 121 kA. That's a high-interrupting-capacity (HIC) breaker, not a standard 25 kA or 36 kA unit. If your available fault current is above 100 kA at the main lug, this is the right class of breaker. At 690 V the capacity drops to 3.7 kA, which is typical for MCCBs at that voltage — you'd rarely see a 690 V fault that high in practice. The trip indicator is not fitted on this variant — no visible flag or push-to-trip button on the front. That's worth knowing for troubleshooting: you'll need to check the breaker handle position or use an external indication. The communication function is also absent; this is a standalone breaker, not a networked power distribution unit.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-5HL36-0BA0 MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, 187 kA at 24","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5HL36-0BA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, line protection with undervoltage release.
