The 105 mm width per 3-pole block fits typical DIN-rail or panel-mount layouts; verify gland-plate cutout against the existing backplate if retrofitting into a tightly packed enclosure. ## Integration notes The shunt trip allows remote tripping from a safety circuit or emergency-stop chain — wire it to a 24 VDC or 110 VAC signal, polarity matters for DC coils. The auxiliary switches provide status feedback (open/closed) to a PLC or indication lamp. Communication function is built in, so this variant supports remote monitoring and trip-data retrieval over the SENTRON bus — useful for energy management or predictive maintenance without adding an external module. Maximum power loss is 25.5 W. In a sealed enclosure with multiple breakers, that heat adds up; account for it in the thermal budget to avoid nuisance tripping from elevated internal ambient.","metaTitle":"SENTRON 3VA2116-5JQ32-0HC0 MCCB, 160 A, 1600 A frame","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5JQ32-0HC0 molded case circuit breaker, 3-pole, 160 A continuous, 1600 A frame, interrupting 187 kA at 240 V.
