Its interrupting capacity hits 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. ## Built-in accessories and panel integration The shunt trip allows a safety relay or emergency-stop circuit to open the breaker remotely — common in machinery or conveyor lines where a hard-wired trip is required. No undervoltage release is fitted, so the breaker does not drop out on voltage sag; that is a deliberate choice for processes that must ride through dips.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-6HN32-0HC0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, 242","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-6HN32-0HC0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, 242 kA at 240 V.
