That 160 A holds steady at every temperature step in between, which simplifies panel design in warm enclosures or near heat-producing gear. ## Breaking Capacity — What the Ratings Actually Mean This MCCB carries a 187 kA interrupting rating at 240 V, which drops to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then 75.6 kA at 500 V, and finally 3.7 kA at 690 V. The width is the critical number for DIN-rail or mounting-plate layout — three of these side by side eat 315 mm of rail space. Height of 181 mm is compact for a 160 A frame, so it clears most standard gland plates. ## Auxiliary Hardware Built In That means you get remote status indication and remote trip capability without ordering separate accessory kits — it's wired and ready. The shunt trip lets a safety PLC or E-stop circuit drop the breaker remotely, which is common in emergency-off chains or interlocked machine cells. Maximum power loss is 25.5 W at rated current. For a 160 A breaker that's modest — it won't cook neighboring components, but in a densely packed panel with multiple breakers, you still want to account for cumulative heat.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-5HN32-0HH0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2116-5HN32-0HH0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, line protection, 187 kA at 240 V.

The difference is in the auxiliary configuration and trip unit — the -5HN32-0HH0 carries 2 auxiliary switches plus a trip alarm and a shunt trip, while the -5HL32-0AK0 has a different accessory set. If the panel wiring expects those specific aux contacts and the shunt trip, it will drop in. If the original spec called for a different auxiliary arrangement, you may need to re-terminate the control wiring."},{"question":"What is the depth of 3VA2116-5HN32-0HH0?","answer":"86 mm (3.39 in)."},{"question":"What is the width of 3VA2116-5HN32-0HH0?","answer":"105 mm (4.13 in)."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA2116-5HN32-0HH0","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA2116-5HN32-0HH0 when reusing this data.
