This is a line-protection breaker (not motor-protection), so it's sized for feeder and distribution duty — feeding a sub-panel, a busway tap, or a large load bank. The 86 mm depth, 105 mm width, and 181 mm height match the standard 3VA footprint. If you're replacing an older 3VA or 3VL frame, check the mounting plate and bus bar centers — the 3VA series shares the same bolt-hole pattern as its predecessor, so it usually drops in without re-drilling the back panel. ## Integration notes Communication function is built in — the breaker supports the SENTRON communication platform for power monitoring and remote trip indication. That means you can pull load data and event logs over the plant network without an external CT module or a separate power meter hanging off the bus. Useful for panels feeding branch circuits where ground-fault coordination matters — think datacenter PDU feeds or medical-grade distribution.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-7KQ32-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, 330","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2116-7KQ32-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, 330 kA interrupting at 240 V.
