The maximum power loss is 25.5 W, which factors into the enclosure thermal budget. The 86 mm depth includes the handle and terminal towers; verify clearance behind the panel door for the shunt trip wiring and auxiliary contact harness. The base breaker without the auxiliaries is order code 3VA2116-6HL32-0AA0; the integrated auxiliary trip module is 3VA9688-0BL32. ## Auxiliary and alarm contacts The HQ auxiliary contact block provides 2 form-C auxiliary switches, 1 trip-alarm switch (signals that the breaker tripped on a fault, not a manual open), and 1 electrical alarm switch. This is a signaling-heavy configuration suited for remote monitoring of the breaker state and fault events. If your application only needs a single auxiliary contact, a lower-configuration variant (e.g., 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0) may be a closer fit — but that variant lacks the trip alarm and second auxiliary switch, so verify your PLC input count before substituting.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-6HL32-0JL0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, Line","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2116-6HL32-0JL0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated continuous current, 3-pole, line protection with ETU320 release.
