Product details

SENTRON 3VA1116-3GF42-0AA0 — 160 A, 4-Pole MCCB with TM240 Release

This is a common setup for feeders where the cable or bus rating caps the load at 160 A while the breaker's magnetic trip remains sized for the higher short-circuit withstand.

Short-circuit breaking capacity varies with system voltage: 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 AC. The 690 V rating is the rated operating voltage, so this breaker can serve 480 V or 600 V class panels with ample SCCR headroom; the 11.9 kA at 690 V is the limiting case for high-voltage industrial grids.

Rated current holds at 160 A from 40 °C through 50 °C, then derates to 158 A at 55 °C, 155 A at 60 °C, 153 A at 65 °C, and 150 A at 70 °C.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1116-3GF42-0AA0?

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

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1116-3GF42-0AA0 at 415 V?

52.5 kA at 415 V AC. The full range is 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.

What does the TM240 release designation mean?

TM240 indicates a thermal-magnetic release with a 240 A frame. The continuous current rating of this breaker is 160 A at 40 °C, so the thermal element is set for 160 A while the magnetic trip operates at the 240 A frame level.
