Interrupting capacity is 187 kA at 240 V, dropping to 121 kA at 415 V or 440 V, 76 kA at 500 V, and 3.8 kA at 690 V — so for most 400 V-class industrial feeds it clears 121 kA fault current without cascading upstream. ## Trip unit and protection features The overcurrent release is an ETU330 electronic trip unit with adjustable long-time pickup (I_g) from 0.3 s to 160 A and short-time pickup (I_i) up to 1 600 A. Ground-fault monitoring uses summation current formation on L+N — adjustable OFF, 50%, or 100% of the N-conductor protection setting. No communication function onboard — this is a standalone protection device, not a smart breaker. Optional motor drive available as a field-fit accessory.","metaTitle":"SENTRON 3VA2116-5HM46-0AA0 MCCB, 160 A, 187 kA at 240 V","metaDescription":"SENTRON 3VA2116-5HM46-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 4-pole, 160 A, ETU330 electronic trip, 187 kA at 240 V.
