The 3VA1116-3ED42-0AA0: Breaking capacity is the headline here: 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. That gives you selectivity headroom on most 480 V or 400 V industrial feeds — the 32 kA at 440 V covers typical North American 480Y/277 V panels without cascading upstream.
Thermal derating and panel fit
The 160 A rating holds flat from 40 °C to 50 °C, then drops to 158 A at 55 °C, 155 A at 60 °C, 153 A at 65 °C, and 150 A at 70 °C. If your enclosure runs hot — say a packed panel near a drive cabinet — that 150 A floor at 70 °C is the number to size against, not the 160 A headline. Footprint is 130 mm high, 101.6 mm wide, 70 mm deep — a 4-pole MCCB that fits standard 100 mm pitch DIN-rail or panel-mount layouts. IP40 on the front means it's fine in a clean indoor enclosure; no washdown rating, so keep it behind a gland plate.
Lifecycle and sourcing
Rated insulation voltage is 800 V, so it's suitable for 690 V line-to-line systems common in European industrial plants. Maximum power loss is 38 W — factor that into your enclosure thermal budget if you're stacking multiple breakers.
What the TM210 release means for coordination
The TM210 is a thermal-magnetic release — fixed thermal pickup at 160 A, magnetic short-circuit pickup at 10x In (1600 A). That's a standard distribution curve: no electronic adjustment, no communication, no ground-fault monitoring. It's a straightforward line-protection breaker for feeders where you don't need selective coordination below 10x In.
