That makes it a solid choice for a feeder or large motor branch where the panel ambient runs warm and you want one part number that holds its rating. Interrupting capacity is 187 kA at 240 V, stepping down to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. For a 480 V panel feeding a 160 A load, the 75.6 kA at 500 V bracket gives you headroom above typical 65 kA or 100 kA SCCR requirements — useful if the utility transformer is close or the fault current is hard to coordinate down. Dimensions are 181 mm height, 105 mm width, 86 mm depth — a standard MCCB footprint for this current class. Maximum power loss is 25.5 W.","metaTitle":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5JQ32-0AA0 MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, 187","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5JQ32-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, 187 kA at 240 V.

The difference is in the internal trip unit and accessories — the -5JQ32-0AA0 includes ground-fault monitoring and communication, while the -5JP32-0AE0 lacks those. No rewiring of the main power connections is needed, but you may need to add control wiring for the extra functions."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA2116-5JQ32-0AA0","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/3VA2116-5JQ32-0AA0 when reusing this data.
