At 55 °C it derates to 158 A, at 60 °C to 155 A, at 65 °C to 153 A, and at 70 °C to 150 A. That's a shallow curve — only 10 A lost over a 30 °C rise — so it's stable in a warm panel as long as you don't crowd the enclosure. Maximum power loss is 13 W; plan ventilation if you're stacking multiple breakers in a small gland plate. ## What the TM210 release means for coordination The TM210 is a fixed thermal, adjustable magnetic release. Thermal pickup is fixed at the 160 A frame rating; magnetic short-circuit pickup is adjustable from 800 A to 1600 A (5x to 10x In). That adjustability lets you set selective coordination with downstream MCBs or fuses — crank it to 1600 A for motor-start inrush, drop it to 800 A for tighter cable protection. Width is 25.4 mm (1 inch), depth 70 mm, height 130 mm. No motor drive option, so remote reset requires an external actuator.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VM1116-3ED12-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 1-Pole, 53 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VM1116-3ED12-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A, 1-pole, 53 kA at 240 V, 8 kA at 415 V.
