That temperature curve is what you size against if the breaker sits near other heat sources on the DIN rail. Interrupting 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 690 V figure is lower but still covers most motor-circuit fault levels in IEC 60947-2 territory. The ETU560 electronic trip unit handles the overcurrent release. It's a three-pole breaker with an undervoltage release fitted, and it includes communication capability — so it can talk to a BMS or PLC for remote trip indication and load monitoring.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-5JQ32-0BL0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5JQ32-0BL0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated, 3-pole, 187 kA at 240 V.
