It carries an ETU860 electronic overcurrent release, which gives you adjustable long-time, short-time, instantaneous, and ground-fault protection curves. The interrupting ratings are the headline: 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. Depth of 86 mm means it clears most standard gland plates and backpan covers without a spacer. ## Protection and release features This is a line-protection breaker — no undervoltage release fitted, no voltage-trip module. It does include a communication function and a ground-fault monitoring version configured for summation current formation on the L-conductor. The ETU860 release supports adjustable settings for LSIG (long-time, short-time, instantaneous, ground) protection. Maximum power loss is 25.5 W — that's the heat you need to vent inside the enclosure at full load. ## Environmental range The 160 A rating holds flat across the entire operating range — no derating curve to track.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-5KQ36-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, ETU8","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5KQ36-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A, 3-pole, 187 kA at 240 V.
