Product details

Breaking capacity across voltages — where it fits

Breaking capacity drops as system voltage rises: 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. At 240 V, 121 kA is generous; at 480 V, the 75.6 kA figure still covers most North American industrial services.

Rated current holds flat 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. In a sealed, uncooled enclosure that sees 60 °C internal ambient, you lose 5 A — not much, but worth checking if you are running at the edge of the breaker's rating. The 76.2 mm width (3 in) and 70 mm depth (2.76 in) fit standard MCCB panel cutouts; the 130 mm height (5.12 in) is typical for this frame size. Maximum power dissipation is 38 W — plan ventilation if multiple units are ganged in a small enclosure.

Frequently asked questions

Will 3VA1116-4EF32-0AB0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA1110-5EF32-0AM0?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs in the same frame family, so the 76.2 mm width and 70 mm depth match the same panel cutout. The 3VA1116-4EF32-0AB0 carries a higher 160 A rating versus the 3VA1110-5EF32-0AM0, so verify the bus bar and cable sizing can handle the increased current before swapping.
