The 3-pole construction suits three-phase line protection; the unit is not fitted with ground-fault monitoring or communication functions, so it is a straightforward thermal-magnetic or electronic trip MCCB for feeder protection. The auxiliary contacts provide status feedback for PLC or indication circuits. As a SENTRON MCCB, it mounts into standard switchboard or panelboard cutouts with screw-clamp or plug-in connections depending on the base. The 105 mm width and 86 mm depth fit typical MCCB slots in distribution panels; verify the busbar or cable connection method against the panel's existing design.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-6HL32-0CH0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, 242","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-6HL32-0CH0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, line protection.
