It is designed for line protection (cable and busbar feeder protection) in commercial and industrial distribution panels. Breaking capacity spans from 242 kA at 240 V down to 3.7 kA at 690 V, covering high-fault utility service entrances (242 kA at 240 V) through 690 V industrial loads where the available fault current is lower. At 415 V and 440 V it delivers 187 kA; at 500 V, 121 kA. ## Built-in auxiliary and undervoltage release — no separate purchase needed A trip indicator is present on the front face, giving immediate visual confirmation that the breaker has opened on fault rather than by manual switching. ## Footprint and panel integration Verify the busbar pitch and cable lug centers against the existing panel layout before committing the BOM line.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-6HN32-0BH0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, 242","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-6HN32-0BH0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, 242 kA breaking at 240 V.

The 86 mm depth is also identical.
