The interrupting capacity tells the story: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 76 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 500 V. That's a serious fault-current rating for a 160 A frame, meaning it can handle high available short-circuit currents without cascading upstream. The insulation voltage is rated 690 V, and it handles DC up to 500 V. Power loss maxes out at 38 W. ## Sizing and Thermal Performance The continuous current rating holds at 160 A from 40 °C through 50 °C, then derates gradually: 158 A at 55 °C, 155 A at 60 °C, 153 A at 65 °C, and 150 A at 70 °C. That's a shallow derate curve — you lose only 10 A over a 30 °C rise. The TM210 release has an adjustable response value at 160 A minimum. Front protection is IP40 — fine for a panel interior, but not for washdown environments. Dimensions: 130 mm height, 101.6 mm width, 70 mm depth. That's a 4-inch wide footprint — standard for a 4-pole MCCB in this class. The IP40 front rating means it's suitable for dead-front panels where the operator interface is behind a door. No motor drive option, so it's manually operated only.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VM1116-5ED42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 160 A, 4-Pole, 187","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VM1116-5ED42-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 160 A, 4-pole, TM210 release.
