The shunt trip lets you remotely open the breaker via a control signal — useful for emergency-stop circuits or interlocking with a fire alarm panel. The trip alarm switch provides a separate signal path that closes only when the breaker trips on fault, distinct from the auxiliary switches that follow the main contact position. If you are holding a line-down situation or a project deadline, send the RFQ with your target quantity and ship-to region. ## Physical Fit & Panel Integration Dimensions: 181 mm height, 105 mm width, 86 mm depth. The 86 mm depth includes the handle and terminal covers; verify clearance against the enclosure door and any busbar shroud. Power loss is 25.5 W maximum at rated current. That matters for thermal management inside a sealed enclosure — if you are grouping several breakers in a small panel, the cumulative heat may require ventilation or a larger cabinet. At 25.5 W per breaker, a 6-breaker lineup adds over 150 W of heat to the enclosure. ## Environmental & Compliance The storage limits are wider because the breaker is not carrying current or switching during storage — that range governs handling and warehousing, not running conditions. The SENTRON 3VA series carries IEC 60947-2 certification for MCCBs. Compliance documentation (CE, UKCA, EAC, and UL/CSA for applicable variants) is available from Siemens. The part is RoHS and REACH compliant. No ground-fault monitoring version is fitted on this order code — that is a separate variant if you need GFCI functionality.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-5HL36-0KH0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, 187","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5HL36-0KH0 molded case circuit breaker. 160 A continuous, 3-pole, line protection.
