The 160 A continuous rating is the full-scale value, with an initial setting of 32 A; the trip unit is adjustable between those limits. Mounts in a standard distribution panel footprint: 181 mm height, 105 mm width, 86 mm depth. The 3-pole form factor occupies three module spaces on a DIN rail. Maximum power dissipation is 19.7 W — account for that in the enclosure thermal budget. Communication function is built in, supporting integration with upstream monitoring systems. ## Environmental and monitoring features No undervoltage release or voltage trigger is fitted on this variant. No trip indicator is present on the front face.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2116-8JQ36-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, 440","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-8JQ36-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A continuous, 3-pole, 440 kA interrupting at 240 V.
