The ETU350 electronic overcurrent release provides adjustable trip settings, making this breaker suitable for feeder and main switchboard applications where selectivity and coordination are required. The 187 kA breaking capacity at 240 V (121 kA at 415 V and 440 V) means it can safely interrupt high-fault currents without cascading upstream — a key spec for high-capacity transformer secondaries or large motor control centers. ## Thermal Derating and Application Context The 160 A rating holds flat from 40 °C to 50 °C, then derates to 154 A at 55 °C, 148 A at 60 °C, 142 A at 65 °C, and 136 A at 70 °C. For a panel with an ambient of 55 °C — common in a non-conditioned electrical room — the breaker is effectively a 154 A device. ## Auxiliary Contacts and Release Configuration The basic switch supplied is the 3VA2116-5HN36-0AA0, which is the core switching mechanism without the electronic trip unit.","metaTitle":"3VA2116-5HN36-0AF0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 187 kA at 240 V","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5HN36-0AF0 molded case circuit breaker, 3-pole, 160 A, ETU350 release, 187 kA at 240 V.
