It's a 3-pole unit with a TM210 thermal-magnetic overcurrent release — that's a fixed thermal trip and a magnetic trip adjustable from 5x to 10x In. At 40 °C it carries 160 A continuous, and the thermal derating curve is shallow: still 160 A at 50 °C, dropping to 150 A at 70 °C. That means in a warm enclosure you lose only about 6% of capacity, so you don't need to oversize the frame for most panel environments. Breaking capacity is the headline: 76 kA at 240 V AC, 53 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 12 kA at 500 V. That 76 kA at 240 V is strong — it handles high-fault utility feeds without needing a current-limiting fuse upstream. The 53 kA at 415 V covers most European industrial distribution. Insulation voltage is rated 800 V, so the breaker is physically gapped for 690 V systems. ## Mounting and panel fit Width is 76.2 mm (3 inches), depth 70 mm, height 130 mm. That's a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint — it'll bolt onto a mounting plate or into a panel-mount cradle. The IP40 front face keeps fingers out but isn't rated for washdown. Max power dissipation is 38 W at rated load, so factor that into your enclosure thermal budget if you're packing several breakers in a row.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VM1116-3ED32-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 3-Pole, TM21","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VM1116-3ED32-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 160 A at 40 °C, 3-pole, TM210 trip, 76 kA at 240 V.

Submit an RFQ; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time."},{"question":"What is the closest functional alternative to 3VM1116-3ED32-0AA0?","answer":"The 3VA1020-2ED32-0DD0 is a sibling in the same SENTRON family. Both are 3-pole MCCBs with thermal-magnetic trip units, but the 3VA series uses a different trip platform (the 3VA Electronic vs TM210) and may have different accessory compatibility. The 3VM is the value line; the 3VA adds more adjustable trip features and communication options. Panel footprint differs — verify mounting dimensions before swapping."},{"question":"Will 3VM1116-3ED32-0AA0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA1020-2ED32-0DD0?","answer":"Not without checking the mounting pattern. The 3VM and 3VA series share the SENTRON brand but have different housing dimensions and accessory slots. The 3VM1116-3ED32-0AA0 is 76.2 mm wide, 70 mm deep, 130 mm tall. Verify the 3VA1020-2ED32-0DD0's cutout against those numbers before assuming a drop-in fit."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3VM1116-3ED32-0AA0?","answer":"Siemens provides the standard SENTRON documentation package including the product datasheet, installation instructions, and a CE declaration of conformity. The MCCB is designed to meet IEC 60947-2.
