Interrupting capacity is 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415/440 V, 79 kA at 500 V, and 4.25 kA at 690 V. That 187 kA figure at 240 V covers high-fault transformer secondaries and large motor-control-center buswork; the 121 kA at 415 V is what you'd coordinate with downstream feeders in a 400 V industrial distribution board. The ETU350 trip unit is a microprocessor-based electronic release with LI (long-time and instantaneous) protection. ## Mounting and integration — panel fit No DIN-rail clip; this is a bolted connection for high-fault applications. Four auxiliary switches (HQ type) are built in — two NO + two NC or configurable depending on the wiring. That gives you status feedback for the SCADA or PLC without adding a separate aux block. ## Lifecycle and sourcing — current production, quoted to order The basic switch (the breaker mechanism without the trip unit) is order code 3VA2116-5HN32-0AA0, which is the underlying frame if you ever need to replace just the switch and keep the ETU350.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-5HN32-0AE0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 187 kA","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5HN32-0AE0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated, 187 kA interrupting at 240 V.
