That steep drop at 690 V means this breaker is not suited for 690 V distribution — the 3.7 kA rating is below typical fault currents in industrial 690 V networks. For 400 V class panels, the 242 kA figure covers most utility-transformer fault levels. ## Thermal performance and derating That simplifies panel design in warm enclosures or near heat sources. Maximum power loss is 28 W, which is moderate for a 160 A frame; factor that into enclosure ventilation calculations. Dimensions are 181 mm height, 140 mm width, 86 mm depth. The breaker ships with the undervoltage release and auxiliary switches pre-installed; no field assembly of those options required.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-7HL42-0BD0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 4-Pole, 330","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-7HL42-0BD0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 4-pole, 330 kA breaking capacity at 240 VAC.
