Its interrupting capacity at 240 V is 242 kA, dropping to 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then 121 kA at 500 V, and 3.8 kA at 690 V — figures that define its fault-clearing capability at the point of common coupling. The electronic trip unit is an ETU550, which provides adjustable long-time pickup and delay settings (tr min 0.5 s, tr max 20 s) plus ground-fault protection is not fitted on this variant — the ground fault monitoring version is marked 'Without'. The 3VA2116-6JP46-0AA0 measures 181 mm high, 140 mm wide, and 86 mm deep — a 4-pole frame that occupies the same footprint as other SENTRON 3VA breakers in its current class, so a panel laid out for a 160 A 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0 will accept this unit without rewiring, provided the busbar and lug kit match the 4-pole configuration. Front-face protection is IP40. Communication function is present, which on the 3VA platform means it can integrate with a higher-level system via a communication module — the ETU550 supports this, though the specific protocol (PROFIBUS, PROFINET, Modbus) depends on the plug-in module ordered separately. ## Electrical endurance and thermal management","metaTitle":"3VA2116-6JP46-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160A, 4-Pole, ETU550, 242kA","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-6JP46-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160A rated current, 4-pole, ETU550 electronic trip unit, 242 kA at 240 V.
