The interrupting ratings step down with voltage: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. At typical 400 V industrial feeds, the 121 kA SCCR covers most utility transformer secondary faults without requiring a current-limiting fuse upstream. ## Panel integration and auxiliary wiring The auxiliary switches share the same mechanism as the main contacts; verify the free-wheel diode polarity on the UVR coil before energizing to avoid damaging the release. ## Thermal performance across ambient range Maximum power loss is 28 W at rated current.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-5KP32-0DK0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, 187","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5KP32-0DK0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, 187 kA interrupting at 240 V.
