The 140 mm width (5.51 in) for a 4-pole unit is standard for this frame size; it occupies four 35 mm DIN-rail modules. ## Trip Unit & Communication No undervoltage release or shunt trip is built in (those are accessory add-ons). The trip indicator is not present on this variant, so you won't get a local mechanical flag; you'd rely on the communication output or a separate auxiliary contact for status. Ground-fault monitoring is not included — if you need GF protection, you'd step to a different suffix.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-6KP46-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 242 kA at 24","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2116-6KP46-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 242 kA interrupting at 240 V.
