Siemens 3VA1116-4EF32-0HC0 — 160 A SENTRON MCCB for Line Protection
The rated insulation voltage sits at 800 V, which sets the ceiling for the system voltage it can be applied to.
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. The thermal rating 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.
The 3-pole width of 76.2 mm (3 inches) is the standard MCCB footprint for a 160 A frame — it occupies three 25.4 mm module positions on a DIN rail or panel-mount base. Maximum power loss is 38 W, so account for that heat in the enclosure thermal budget.
