Breaking capacity hits 242 kA at 240 VAC, 187 kA at 415 VAC, and still delivers 121 kA at 500 VAC, so it handles high-fault utility feeds and transformer secondaries where SCCR requirements are stiff. The 242 kA at 240 VAC is the interrupting rating; paired with the 160 A frame, it gives you selectivity headroom downstream for branch breakers rated up to the available fault current. The shunt trip release (STL) lets a remote emergency-stop or fire-alarm signal open the breaker independently of the trip unit — wired to a control transformer or UPS, it drops the main on command.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-6HN32-0KH0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, 242","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-6HN32-0KH0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, 242 kA breaking capacity at 240 VAC.
