Its breaking capacity scales with system voltage: 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V — so the same frame covers high-fault 240 V services and lower-fault 690 V drives without upsizing. Rated insulation voltage is 800 V, and the thermal rating holds 160 A flat from 40 °C through 70 °C ambient — no derating curve to chase in a warm enclosure. Maximum power loss is 25.5 W, manageable in a standard panel layout. Mounts in a standard distribution board footprint: 105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, 86 mm deep.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-5HM32-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, 187","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5HM32-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, 187 kA breaking at 240 V.

The key difference is that the 5HM42-0CC0 includes an undervoltage release and a communication function, while the 5HM32-0AA0 is a straight line-protection block without those extras. Panel cutout and bus-bar spacing are identical — it drops in without rewiring if the added functions are acceptable."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for this MCCB?","answer":"As a SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, this part carries Siemens' standard declarations for RoHS and REACH compliance, plus IEC 60947-2 certification.
