The interrupting ratings tell you where it'll hold fault current without blowing apart: 187 kA at 240 VAC, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. Front IP40 protection keeps dust and accidental contact out while allowing heat dissipation through the vents. The ETU350 trip unit is field-adjustable for long-time, short-time, instantaneous, and ground-fault pickup — no need to swap the whole breaker for a coordination change. ## What the ETU350 means for selectivity That means you can coordinate this breaker with downstream feeders to clear a fault close to the load without taking the whole bus down — critical for a production line where a nuisance trip on a subfeed stops a whole cell.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-5HN42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 4-Pole, 187","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2116-5HN42-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 4-pole, 187 kA at 240 VAC.
