That thermal curve means a panel pulling a steady 150 A in a 45 °C enclosure stays within rating; only a hot backplane or undersized ventilation pushes you into the derate band. Breaking capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 79 kA at 500 V, and 4.25 kA at 690 V. The depth of 86 mm means it clears most shallow backpanels; check gland-plate clearance if you're mounting against a rear wall. The 20 000 mechanical endurance cycles (latching) suit it for panel feeder duty rather than frequent switching applications. The storage range matters for site trailers or unheated warehouses before commissioning.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-5HN36-0DC0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 187 kA","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5HN36-0DC0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated continuous current, 187 kA breaking capacity at 240 V, ETU350 release, undervoltage release included.
