Its interrupting capacity reaches 187 kA at 240 V and 121 kA at 415 V — figures that place it in the high-fault category for industrial main feeders or large sub-distribution boards where available fault current is substantial. The breaker carries a shunt trip release (STL) as the auxiliary release design, and its auxiliary contact suite includes 2 auxiliary switches plus 1 trip alarm switch and 1 electrical alarm switch HQ. The 160 A rating holds from 40 °C through 50 °C without derating; above that, it steps down to 154 A at 55 °C, 148 A at 60 °C, 142 A at 65 °C, and 136 A at 70 °C. Mounting dimensions are 105 mm wide by 181 mm tall by 86 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint that fits most SENTRON panelboard and switchboard cutouts without adapter plates. The basic switch component is order code 3VA2116-5HL36-0AA0, and the integrated auxiliary trip is 3VA9688-0BL30; these are serviceable sub-assemblies if field replacement is ever needed. ## Specified for coordination and selectivity Rated insulation voltage is 800 V, and the latching endurance is rated at 20 000 operations — a figure that supports the breaker's use in applications requiring periodic switching under load, not just infrequent fault clearing.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-5HL36-0HL0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, 187","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2116-5HL36-0HL0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated continuous current, 3-pole, line protection with ETU320 release. 187 kA at 240 V.
