Width is 105 mm, height is 181 mm, depth is 86 mm. Above that, it derates: 154 A at 55 °C, 148 A at 60 °C, 142 A at 65 °C, and 136 A at 70 °C. If your panel ambient sits at 55 °C — common in a packed enclosure near a heat source — you're still good for 154 A continuous. That's a solid margin for a 150 A feeder. ## Auxiliaries and communication The shunt trip lets you remotely open the breaker via a control signal — useful for an emergency-stop circuit or a PLC-driven load shed. Communication function is present, which means it can talk to a higher-level system for metering and status, though the exact protocol isn't specified in this listing. No undervoltage release or phase-failure detection on this build; if you need those, you'd look at a different option code. Mechanical endurance is 20,000 operations.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-5JQ32-0KC0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, Line","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5JQ32-0KC0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated, 3-pole, line protection, 187 kA at 240 V.
