The fixed short-circuit release (li) trips at 1600 A, so it coordinates downstream with standard branch-circuit protection. The 160 A rating holds flat up to 50 °C, then derates to 158 A at 55 °C, 155 A at 60 °C, 153 A at 65 °C, and 150 A at 70 °C. ## How the 3VM1116-4GE42-0AA0 compares to the 3VA1112-5EE32-0AA0 The 3VA1112-5EE32-0AA0 is a lower-current sibling in the same SENTRON family — typically 100 A class, with a different release curve. The 3VM1116-4GE42-0AA0 carries 160 A and the higher interrupting capacities (121 kA at 240 V vs the 3VA's lower ratings). Panel cutout dimensions are similar, but the 3VM's 70 mm depth and 101.6 mm width should be verified against the existing 3VA footprint before a drop-in swap — the mounting pattern is the same family, but always check gland-plate clearance.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VM1116-4GE42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 4-Pole, 121","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VM1116-4GE42-0AA0 SENTRON 4-pole MCCB, 160 A continuous, TM220 release, 121 kA at 240 V.
