Breaking capacity hits 242 kA at 240 V, stepping down to 187 kA at 415/440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. ## Panel integration and dimensions The shunt trip and auxiliary switches are factory-installed — no field-assembly of those accessories. Line protection design means the breaker is configured for feeder or main protection, not motor-circuit protection (no overload relay curve).","metaTitle":"3VA2116-6HN32-0KC0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-pole, 242 kA at 24","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-6HN32-0KC0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, 242 kA breaking capacity at 240 V.
