That's a shallow derate slope, meaning you can pack it into a warm panel without losing much headroom. Four poles, TM220 thermal-magnetic release with an adjustable li of 1600 A for the magnetic trip. Rated insulation voltage Ui of 690 V, max DC operational voltage of 500 V. ## Sizing and Thermal Reality Check At 55 °C you lose 2 A; at 70 °C you're at 150 A. Dimensions are 101.6 mm wide by 130 mm tall by 70 mm deep — a 4-pole MCCB that fits standard DIN-rail or screw-mount patterns.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VM1116-4EE42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 4-Pole, TM22","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VM1116-4EE42-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A, 4-pole, TM220 release.
