Product details

Breaking capacity runs from 75.6 kA at 240 V down to 10.5 kA at 690 V, which covers most industrial low-voltage distribution scenarios.

Ratings that matter for your BOM line

The 160 A rating holds flat from 40 °C up to 50 °C, then derates to 153.6 A at 55 °C, 150.4 A at 60 °C, 147.2 A at 65 °C, and 144 A at 70 °C. That's a shallow derate curve — you lose only 10 % at the top of the operating range, so it's a solid pick for a warm enclosure. The interrupting ratings are: 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 10.5 kA at 690 V. Those numbers govern fault-clearing capability at the available fault current on your secondary side. The integrated auxiliary release is a shunt trip (STL) — order code 3VA9688-0BL32 if you need the matching accessory.

Footprint is 70 mm deep, 76.2 mm wide, 130 mm tall — a 3-pole MCCB that fits a standard panel-mount cutout. The shunt trip release is built in, not a field-installed kit, which saves panel-build labor.

Frequently asked questions

What does the TM240 release mean for my application?

The TM240 is a thermal-magnetic release rated for 160 A continuous current. The thermal element protects against sustained overloads; the magnetic element trips instantly on short-circuit currents above the magnetic pickup threshold. It's a fixed-trip design — no interchangeable rating plugs — so the breaker is matched to a 160 A load.

Where can I buy the 3VA1116-3EF32-0JH0?

This part is sourced and quoted to order through independent distribution against an RFQ. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time. Submit an RFQ for a firm offer.

Does this breaker include a shunt trip?

Yes, it ships with an integrated shunt trip (STL) auxiliary release. The matching accessory order code is 3VA9688-0BL32 if you need a spare or replacement coil.

What compliance documentation is available for this MCCB?

As a Siemens SENTRON product, this breaker carries the usual industrial certifications (IEC 60947-2, UL 489 pending regional variant). Compliance declarations (RoHS, REACH) are published on Siemens' Industry Online Support portal. The reference code per DIN EN 81346-2 is Q.
