That makes it a straight drop-in for a 160 A feeder or large motor branch circuit where you need the interrupting capacity to match the fault current at the panelboard. The interrupting ratings are what you'd expect from a high-capacity frame in the 3VA2 series: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. The 105 mm width (4.13 in) is the same as other 3VA2 3-pole units, so swapping between variants in the same family doesn't require re-drilling the panel.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-5HL36-0JH0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, 187","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5HL36-0JH0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, 187 kA interrupting at 240 V.
