The 140 mm width is standard for a 4-pole MCCB in the SENTRON 3VA frame — it fits the same cutout and bus-bar spacing as other 3VA2 breakers, so a panel designed for a 3VA2163-8JQ32-0AA0 will accept this unit without rewiring the main bus. ## Trip unit and communication The ETU850 electronic trip unit supports communication functions, enabling integration with energy management or remote monitoring systems. Power loss at maximum rated current is 25.5 W, which should be considered in enclosure thermal calculations.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-6KP42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 4-Pole, ETU8","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-6KP42-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 4-pole, ETU850 electronic trip.
