Its interrupting capacity hits 330 kA at 415 V — that's the fault current it can safely clear without welding contacts or rupturing the case, sized for high-available-fault installations like industrial substations or large motor control centers. The ETU350 electronic trip offers adjustable overload and short-circuit protection curves, giving the panel designer flexibility to coordinate with downstream breakers without swapping trip units. Rated insulation voltage is 800 V, so it's suitable for 690 V line-to-line systems common in European and IEC-based industrial plants. ## Panel fit and integration Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 181 mm high, 86 mm deep — fits standard Siemens SENTRON 3VA panel cutouts and busbar systems; the 86 mm depth leaves clearance behind the door for wiring gutters. Front face carries IP40 protection — suitable for indoor panel installation where no water spray is present; not rated for washdown environments. Power dissipation is 19.7 W maximum at rated load — factor that into enclosure thermal calculations to avoid derating adjacent devices.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-8HN32-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, ETU3","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-8HN32-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, ETU350 electronic trip, 330 kA at 415 V.
