Product details

The 3-pole design fits three-phase distribution panels where the neutral is protected separately or left unprotected.

Interrupting capacity — what the voltage ratings mean for your fault level

This MCCB's interrupting capacity varies sharply with system voltage, and the right column for your installation is the one that matches your fault current study. At 240 V it breaks 75.6 kA; at 415 V it's 52.5 kA; at 440 V it drops to 32 kA; and at 690 V it's 10.5 kA. For a 400 V panel with a prospective short-circuit current of, say, 40 kA, the 52.5 kA rating at 415 V gives comfortable headroom. At 690 V the 10.5 kA limit means this breaker is only suitable for systems with low fault levels — check your coordination study before specifying it on a 690 V bus.

Thermal derating — the real-world current you can run

Above that, the derating curve is gradual: 153.6 A at 55 °C, 150.4 A at 60 °C, 147.2 A at 65 °C, and 144 A at 70 °C. If your panel ambient runs 55 °C inside a non-climate-controlled enclosure, you lose about 4% of the continuous rating — plan your load accordingly.

Dimensions are 130 mm height, 76.2 mm width, 70 mm depth — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint that mounts on a DIN rail or directly to a backplate via the screw terminals. A shunt trip (STL) is built in for remote tripping; the auxiliary release order code for the integrated trip unit is 3VA9688-0BL33. No auxiliary contact block is fitted as standard.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1116-3EF36-0KA0 and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced through independent distribution and quoted to order against an RFQ. Submit a request for a current price and availability confirmation.

Will 3VA1116-3EF36-0KA0 drop into a panel that was specified around 3VA1110-5EE32-0JA0 without rewiring?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs in the same physical family, so the footprint and terminal layout are the same. The 3VA1116-3EF36-0KA0 is rated 160 A with a TM240 release, while the 3VA1110-5EE32-0JA0 is a lower-current variant. Verify the load current and fault level match before substituting — the physical swap is straightforward, but the protection settings differ.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA1116-3EF36-0KA0?

Siemens SENTRON MCCBs are designed to meet IEC 60947-2 and typically carry CE, UKCA, and EAC markings. RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Siemens documentation. Check the specific variant for UL/CSA listing if required for North American installations.
