The 105 mm width and 181 mm height are standard 3VA frame dimensions, so it lands on the same mounting footprint as other 3VA breakers in this frame class. ## Temperature derating — don't guess, use the curve Above that it derates linearly: 154 A at 55 °C, 148 A at 60 °C, 142 A at 65 °C, 136 A at 70 °C. The maximum power loss is 28 W, which is modest for a 160 A frame but still needs to be factored into the enclosure thermal budget. ## What's built into this variant It has a communication function on board — useful for remote monitoring or integration into a higher-level energy management system. There is no auxiliary contact block fitted (the auxiliary contact version is listed as \"Without\"), and no voltage trigger or phase failure detection.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-5JQ32-0CA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2116-5JQ32-0CA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated, 3-pole, ETU560 trip unit, 187 kA at 240 V.

The 3VA2116 is a higher-current frame (160 A vs the 3VA1112's lower rating), so the main difference is the trip unit and the continuous current rating — verify your load current and cable sizing against 160 A before swapping."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA2116-5JQ32-0CA0","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/3VA2116-5JQ32-0CA0 when reusing this data.
