The 1 600 A frame means the breaker body and bus connections are sized for that maximum — the 160 A rating comes from the trip unit and sensor, not the frame. That matters for panel fill: the physical footprint (86 mm deep, 140 mm wide, 181 mm tall) is the same whether you land a 160 A or a 1 600 A trip, so the enclosure cutout and bus spacing are fixed at the frame size. The interrupting ratings climb with voltage: 330 kA at 240 V, 242 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 187 kA at 500 V, then drops to 3.7 kA at 690 V. At 690 V the breaker is still rated for the full 160 A load but the available fault current must stay under 3.7 kA — a critical check for 690 V lineups. Max power loss is 25.5 W at rated load, which matters for heat rise in a sealed panel. Front IP40 protects against tool entry but not washdown; mount where incidental contact is the only exposure. No official successor exists because none is needed. For BOM freeze or line-down spares, the 3VA2116-7HN42-0AA0 is the part to specify.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-7HN42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 4-Pole, ETU3","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-7HN42-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 4-pole, ETU350 electronic trip, 1 600 A frame. 330 kA at 240 V.
