Its breaking capacity reaches 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 79 kA at 500 V, and 4.25 kA at 690 V — a steep drop at the top end that matters when the system voltage sits above 500 V. ## Thermal derating — the real continuous current at your panel ambient Above that, the curve steps down: 154 A at 55 °C, 148 A at 60 °C, 142 A at 65 °C, and 136 A at 70 °C. If your enclosure runs at 60 °C — common in a packed, sealed panel — the usable current is 148 A, not 160 A. That 12 A gap can trip a borderline feeder. ## Breaking capacity — selectivity headroom and the 690 V cliff At 240 V the 187 kA rating gives substantial headroom for high-fault locations like a main service entrance or a large transformer secondary. The drop to 79 kA at 500 V is still strong for a 160 A frame. For that application, a higher-frame or higher-voltage-rated MCCB is needed. Verify the depth clearance against your enclosure door and busbar stack; 86 mm is moderate for an MCCB with an electronic trip unit. ## Power loss and auxiliary release Maximum power loss is 25.5 W — relevant for thermal budgeting in a sealed enclosure. The shunt trip (STL) is built in; no separate undervoltage release is fitted. There is no auxiliary contact version, no ground-fault monitoring, and no phase-failure detection on this variant. The trip indicator is also absent, so remote status relies on the communication function.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-5KP32-0HA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 187 kA at 24","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5KP32-0HA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated continuous current, 187 kA breaking capacity at 240 V.
