Its interrupting capacity hits 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V — so it handles high-fault utility feeds at the lower voltages and still clears a 690 V fault, though the margin tightens there. Maximum power loss is 28 W, so ventilation in a sealed enclosure is advisable if multiple breakers are ganged — that heat adds up. The 160 A continuous rating at 40-70 °C means this breaker carries a full 160 A load even in a hot panel near the top of its ambient range. At 415 V the 187 kA still covers most industrial service entrances.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-6HL32-0DC0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-pole","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-6HL32-0DC0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, 242 kA at 240 V.
