That 160 A holds flat from 40 °C through 50 °C ambient, then derates to 154 A at 55 °C, 148 A at 60 °C, 142 A at 65 °C, and 136 A at 70 °C — so in a warm enclosure you lose roughly 15 % of capacity by the time the internal air hits 70 °C. ## Breaking capacity — selectivity headroom Breaking capacity climbs to 242 kA at 240 V, drops to 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then 121 kA at 500 V, and 5 kA at 690 V. That 242 kA at 240 V is well above typical utility fault levels for North American 240/120 V split-phase services — you get full selectivity with downstream branch breakers without worrying about cascading failure. At 415/440 V the 187 kA still covers most industrial secondary substations. The 5 kA at 690 V is the weak point; if you're feeding a 690 V drive panel, verify the available fault current stays under that number. ## Mounting and integration — DIN-rail or panel-mount Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 181 mm high, 86 mm deep. The 105 mm width is three 35 mm DIN-rail module spaces — it clips onto standard 35 mm DIN rail or can be panel-mounted via the screw terminals.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-6HN32-0AG0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, ETU3","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-6HN32-0AG0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated, 3-pole, ETU350 electronic trip, 242 kA at 240 V.
