That simplifies panel thermal calculations: the breaker delivers its full 160 A at 70 °C ambient, which is unusual for a compact MCCB frame. Dimensions: 181 mm height, 140 mm width, 86 mm depth. The 140 mm width across four poles is the critical fit dimension — verify the panel cutout or mounting plate accommodates that pole pitch before committing the layout. Maximum power loss is 25.5 W. In a sealed or low-ventilation enclosure, that loss figure drives the internal temperature rise; factor it into the thermal budget alongside the other breakers in the same compartment. Communication function is built in — the breaker supports integration into a higher-level monitoring or control system, which is relevant if the panel requires remote trip indication or energy metering over a bus. Ground-fault monitoring is implemented as summation current formation on the L + N conductor. That means it measures vector sum of phase and neutral currents to detect leakage to earth — a common requirement in IT or TN-S systems where ground-fault protection is mandated.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-7KQ46-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 4-Pole, 800","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-7KQ46-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 4-pole, 800 V insulation.
