Rated insulation voltage is 800 V, and the breaker holds its full 160 A rating across an ambient range from -25 °C to 70 °C with no derating needed through 70 °C. Maximum power loss is 25.5 W. It does not carry an undervoltage release or trip indicator as standard. The 86 mm depth (3.39 in) fits most 200 mm deep cabinets with clearance for rear cable routing.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-6KQ36-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-pole, 242","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2116-6KQ36-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, line protection.
