Breaking capacity hits 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 5 kA at 690 V — these are the maximum fault currents the breaker can safely interrupt at each voltage level, critical for confirming SCCR compliance in high-fault panels like transformer secondaries or large motor control centers. Rated insulation voltage Ui is 800 V, and the operating temperature range spans -25 °C to 70 °C, with storage from -40 °C to 80 °C — the storage limits govern handling during transport, not running conditions. Lifecycle stage is marked as current — meaning this is an active, in-production part from Siemens. No phase-out or last-time-buy notice applies. ## Panel integration and mechanical fit Maximum power loss is 28 W — a modest thermal load for a 160 A breaker, but if multiple units are ganged in a sealed enclosure, factor the cumulative heat into the cabinet cooling budget.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-6HL32-0DA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, Line","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2116-6HL32-0DA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A at 40 °C, breaking capacity 242 kA at 240 V.
