At 415 V and 440 V the rating holds at 121 kA, then drops to 79 kA at 500 V and 4.25 kA at 690 V, so verify your system voltage against the curve before specifying. The ETU850 electronic trip unit provides adjustable long-time, short-time, instantaneous, and ground-fault protection curves — this is a programmable trip, not a fixed thermal-magnetic, so you can coordinate it downstream of a larger feeder breaker without nuisance tripping. ## Integration and mounting notes The breaker measures 105 mm wide, 181 mm high, and 86 mm deep — standard 3-pole MCCB footprint for the 160 A frame size. It mounts via four screws to a backplate or DIN-rail adapter (not included). ## Communication and monitoring capability The breaker includes a communication function and an other measurement function, meaning it can accept a communication module (e.g., PROFIBUS, PROFINET, or Modbus RTU) for remote trip indication, current metering, and parameter adjustment via the ETU850. No undervoltage release and no phase failure detection are built in — those are optional add-on accessories if your application requires them.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-5KP32-0AE0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 187 kA","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2116-5KP32-0AE0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated, 187 kA breaking at 240 V, ETU850 trip unit, current production.
