The shunt trip release (STL) lets you remotely open the breaker via a control signal, which is standard for emergency-stop circuits or interlocking schemes. No undervoltage release on this variant, so if you need UVR for a safety circuit, this isn't the one. The 105 mm width for a 3-pole 160 A frame is standard for SENTRON 3VA2 breakers — it occupies three 35 mm DIN spaces plus a bit of side clearance. Mounts on DIN rail or direct panel; the shunt trip adds a pair of control terminals.","metaTitle":"SENTRON 3VA2116-6HN32-0JA0 MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, 242 kA at 24","metaDescription":"SENTRON 3VA2116-6HN32-0JA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, 242 kA breaking capacity at 240 V.
