{"schemaVersion":"matrix-product-facts/v1","identity":{"mpn":"3VA4160-4ED24-0AA0","brand":"Siemens","brandSlug":"siemens","productSlug":"3VA4160-4ED24-0AA0","canonicalUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA4160-4ED24-0AA0","factsUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/3VA4160-4ED24-0AA0","rawCanonicalId":null},"summary":{"shortDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA4160-4ED24-0AA0, system-protection molded-case circuit breaker, 2-pole, TM210 thermal-magnetic release, 60 A at 40 °C, 65 kA at 240 V AC, 25 kA at 480 V AC.","salesMarkdown":"Rated 60 A at 40 °C, it derates cleanly through 70 °C (53 A at 70 °C), so the ampacity you spec at the panel design temperature is the ampacity you get. Interrupting capacity is 65 kA at 240 V AC and 25 kA at 480 V AC — that 25 kA at 480 V is the number your SCCR study cares about for a 480 V distribution panel; 65 kA at 240 V covers the high-fault end of a 240/120 V center-tapped service. Operating voltage is rated at 415 V AC, which puts it squarely in European-style 400 V three-phase networks as well. ## Thermal curve and real-world loading This breaker's continuous current is temperature-dependent, and the datasheet gives the full ladder: 60 A at 40 °C, 59 A at 45 °C, 58 A at 50 °C, 56 A at 55 °C, 55 A at 60 °C, 54 A at 65 °C, 53 A at 70 °C. If your panel internal ambient hits 50 °C, you're looking at 58 A continuous — not the 60 A on the label. That matters when the load is a continuous process pump or a compressor bank that runs near the trip threshold. Power loss is 9.3 W maximum — negligible for panel heat budgeting but worth noting in a sealed enclosure. The 3VA4160-4ED24-0AA0 measures 50.8 mm wide (2 in), 129.4 mm tall (5.09 in), and 75.1 mm deep (2.96 in). If your BOM calls for shunt trip or auxiliary contacts, those are add-on modules, not built in.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA4160-4ED24-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 2-Pole, 60A, 65kA a","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA4160-4ED24-0AA0 molded-case circuit breaker, 2-pole, 60A (40°C), 65kA/25kA interrupting at 240/480V.
