The interrupting 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, which covers most industrial fault-current scenarios up to the low-voltage switchgear boundary. ## Integration and mounting constraints No auxiliary contacts are integrated, and the undervoltage release (UVR) is built in, so if your safety circuit expects a shunt trip instead, you'll need a different variant or an add-on module. The base switch is order code 3VA2116-6HN32-0AA0; the integrated auxiliary trip is 3VA9608-0BB11. ## Operating environment and electrical ratings Latching endurance rated at 20,000 operations.","metaTitle":"SENTRON 3VA2116-6HN32-0BA0 MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, ETU350, 242","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-6HN32-0BA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A rated current, 3-pole, ETU350 electronic trip unit, interrupting capacity 242 kA at 240 V.
