Breaking capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then drops to 75.6 kA at 500 V and 3.7 kA at 690 V. That kind of headroom means you can place this breaker close to the transformer secondary or the main bus without worrying about cascading faults upstream. The ETU850 electronic overcurrent release gives you adjustable long-time, short-time, instantaneous, and ground-fault protection curves — line protection design, not motor-only. Communication function is built in, so it talks to the plant SCADA or energy management system without an add-on module. Mounts on DIN rail or direct screw-mount via the base. The 105 mm width (4.13 in) fits standard MCCB slots in most switchboard form factors. Front terminals accept busbar or cable lugs up to the rated cross-section; check the lug size against your cable ampacity for the 160 A continuous rating.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-5KP32-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 187 kA at 24","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2116-5KP32-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 187 kA at 240 V.
