Product details

The TM240 thermal-magnetic release gives it a fixed time-current curve, so selectivity studies should start with that curve in hand. Breaking capacity runs 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 10.5 kA at 690 V — enough to handle high-fault panels without cascading upstream breakers, but the 690 V number tells you this isn't a 690 V workhorse; keep it on the 400 V-class bus where it belongs. The operating temperature range runs -25 °C to 70 °C, but the continuous current derating curve starts at 55 °C — 153.6 A at 55 °C, stepping down to 144 A at 70 °C. If the panel ambient sits above 50 °C, factor that derate into the load calculation; the breaker won't trip early, but it'll run warmer than a 40 °C install. Dimensions are 130 mm height, 76.2 mm width, 70 mm depth — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint for DIN-rail or screw-mount panel integration.

Auxiliary and undervoltage release configuration

The auxiliary switch block is part number 3VA9608-0BB11; if you're swapping a failed UVR or adding a shunt trip later, that's the order code for the auxiliary trip assembly. It's a straight line-protection MCCB with a UVR and aux contacts — nothing more, nothing less. If the BOM calls for remote monitoring or GF protection, this isn't the right pick; step up to the 3VA1 with electronic releases.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 3VA1116-3EF32-0BC0?

This MCCB is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm position.

Will 3VA1116-3EF32-0BC0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1110-5EE32-0DC0 without rewiring?

No — the 3VA1116-3EF32-0BC0 is a 160 A, 3-pole line-protection MCCB with a TM240 thermal-magnetic release and an undervoltage release. The 3VA1110-5EE32-0DC0 is a different frame rating and release configuration; the mounting footprint and terminal spacing may match, but the protective settings and auxiliary wiring differ. A full panel coordination check is needed before substitution.

What compliance documentation does the SENTRON brand provide for this MCCB?

The SENTRON 3VA series carries IEC/EN 60947-2 certification as standard. Manufacturer documentation typically includes CE declaration, RoHS and REACH compliance statements, and UL/CSA recognition for the relevant variants. Specific certificates for this order code are available on request.
