Breaking capacity at 415 V is 121 kA, which covers most industrial fault levels upstream of a transformer or generator. At 240 V it rises to 187 kA; at 690 V it drops to 3.7 kA — the part is sized for low-voltage distribution, not 690 V motor circuits. It ships with one auxiliary switch, one trip alarm switch, and one electrical alarm switch (HQ type), plus a communication function for remote status or integration into a BMS or PLC. No undervoltage release is fitted on this variant. The 86 mm depth leaves clearance for rear-connected busbars in a typical distribution cabinet.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-5JQ36-0AK0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-pole","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5JQ36-0AK0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated at 40-70 °C, 256 A max, 121 kA at 415 V.
