The ETU320 trip unit provides electronic overload and short-circuit protection with adjustable settings, though the exact adjustment ranges aren't listed here. No undervoltage release, no voltage trip, no communication module — this is a straightforward line-protection breaker for hardwired distribution. Dimensions: 181 mm height, 105 mm width, 86 mm depth. That's the heat you need to vent in the enclosure design — for a 160 A breaker in a closed panel, factor that into the thermal budget alongside adjacent devices.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-6HL36-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, ETU3","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-6HL36-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, ETU320 trip unit.

At 240 V it reaches 242 kA, and at 500 V it's 121 kA."},{"question":"Will 3VA2116-6HL36-0AA0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0?","answer":"Both are 3-pole SENTRON 3VA2 frame breakers with the same 105 mm width and 181 mm height, so the mounting footprint and busbar spacing are identical. The difference is in the trip unit and ratings — the -6HL36-0AA0 carries the ETU320 electronic trip at 160 A, while the -5HL32-0AK0 uses a different trip unit. Panel cutout compatibility is the same, but verify the trip unit settings and continuous current match your coordination study before swapping."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for this MCCB?","answer":"The SENTRON 3VA series carries UL, CSA, and IEC certifications standard for North American and European installations. RoHS and REACH compliance documentation is available from Siemens on request. The IP40 front protection and 800 V rated insulation voltage align with IEC 60947-2 requirements for molded case circuit breakers."},{"question":"How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2116-6HL36-0AA0?","answer":"Submit an RFQ through this listing.
