Rated interrupting capacity reaches 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. The 86 mm depth leaves clearance behind the breaker for wiring and busbar connections. This variant includes a communication function and comes factory-fitted with 2 auxiliary switches HP for status feedback. That is the typical setup for solidly-grounded systems where you want ground-fault protection without a separate GFCI module. Maximum power loss is 25.5 W at rated load, which is typical for a 160 A frame MCCB and should be factored into the enclosure thermal budget.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-5JQ32-0AB0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, Line","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2116-5JQ32-0AB0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A full-scale, 3-pole, line protection with communication function.
