Product details

It carries a continuous current rating of 160 A at 40 °C across all three poles, with no derating needed up to 50 °C — at 55 °C it still holds 158 A, and at 70 °C it derates to 150 A. The 3-pole construction suits three-phase feeder or branch circuits in commercial and industrial switchboards. Breaking capacity is rated at 75.6 kA at 240 V AC, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V.

Integrated auxiliaries and releases

It also includes two auxiliary switches (HQ design) for remote status indication, position feedback to a PLC, or interlocking logic. The trip indicator is not present, so visual trip status must be read from the handle position or via the auxiliary switches.

Dimensions are 130 mm height, 76.2 mm width, and 70 mm depth — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint for DIN-rail or panel-mount installation. The 70 mm depth matters when planning gland-plate clearance or enclosure depth in retrofit panels where existing backpanel wiring is fixed.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1116-3EF36-0BC0 at different voltages?

The breaking capacity is 75.6 kA at 240 V AC, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. These are the maximum fault currents the breaker can safely interrupt at each voltage level.

What is the rated current of 3VA1116-3EF36-0BC0 and how does it derate with temperature?

The continuous current rating is 160 A at 40 °C, holding steady through 50 °C. It derates to 158 A at 55 °C, 155 A at 60 °C, 153 A at 65 °C, and 150 A at 70 °C.

Where can I buy 3VA1116-3EF36-0BC0?

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

What does the undervoltage release do on this MCCB?

The undervoltage release (UVR) trips the breaker when the supply voltage drops below a set threshold, protecting downstream equipment from damage during brownout conditions. It is factory-fitted on this variant.

Does 3VA1116-3EF36-0BC0 include communication capability or ground-fault monitoring?

No — this variant has no communication function and no ground-fault monitoring. It is a basic line-protection MCCB with undervoltage release and two auxiliary switches for remote status indication.
