The breaking capacity sits at 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 3.7 kA at 690 V is the limit for 690 V line-to-line systems; if your service voltage is 690 V, verify the available fault current stays under that figure. ## Deployment context ## Key electrical ratings The shunt trip release is a voltage-trigger type, not undervoltage; it requires a control voltage to fire, so plan for a separate control circuit.","metaTitle":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-6HN32-0KA0 MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, 242","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-6HN32-0KA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, 242 kA breaking capacity at 240 V.
