The SENTRON 3VA1116-1AA32-0CA0 is a 3-pole switch disconnector from the 3VA1 IEC frame 160 series, rated at 160 A continuous without overload or short-circuit protection — it's a pure disconnect, not a breaker. It carries an undervoltage release (UVR) for 120-127 V AC 50/60 Hz, so if control voltage drops, the switch opens automatically.
Compared to the 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0 — a line-protection MCCB with thermal-magnetic trip — this 3VA1116-1AA32-0CA0 has no overcurrent release, no short-circuit protection, and no trip indicator. If your BOM calls for a disconnect-only device with UVR, this is the one. If you need integrated protection, the 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0 is the breaker variant.
Mounts in a standard panel enclosure with front terminals and busbar connection for the main circuit. The 76.2 mm width fits a 3-pole frame on DIN rail or direct panel mount. IP40 on the front keeps dust out in a clean control cabinet. Ambient operating range -25 °C to 70 °C; above 55 °C the continuous current derates from 160 A down to 150 A at 70 °C — factor that into your busbar sizing.
