Breaking capacity is the headline here: 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. The UVR is the design-of-the-auxiliary-release type, meaning it trips the breaker when coil voltage drops below a threshold — common in safety circuits and emergency-stop chains. ## Sizing and selectivity The 160 A frame is sized for main feeders or large branch circuits in distribution panels. The continuous rating is flat across the temperature band, so you don't lose capacity as the panel warms up — that's unusual for an MCCB and simplifies coordination studies. The 3-pole configuration covers three-phase loads; no neutral pole here, so it's for line-side protection only. Power loss is listed at 28 W maximum — that's the heat it dumps into the enclosure at full rated current. For a panel builder, that figure feeds into the thermal rise calculation for the cabinet; 28 W per breaker is manageable in a ventilated enclosure but adds up in a sealed box with multiple breakers. That covers unheated warehouses and outdoor cabinets in most climates. The -25 °C minimum means it's fine for cold storage or northern installations without a heater.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-6HN32-0CC0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, 242","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-6HN32-0CC0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, 242 kA breaking at 240 V.
