SENTRON 3VA1116-4EF32-0KA0 — 160 A MCCB with Shunt Trip
The Siemens SENTRON 3VA1116-4EF32-0KA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for line protection, carrying a continuous current of 160 A at 40 °C through 50 °C, derating to 150 A at 70 °C. Interrupting capacity is 121 kA at 240 V AC, dropping to 75.6 kA at 415 V and 52.5 kA at 440 V — sufficient for high-fault utility feeds or transformer secondaries. At 690 V it still clears 11.9 kA, covering most industrial motor branch circuits.
The 76.2 mm width (3 in) and 130 mm height fit standard SENTRON 3VA panel cutouts and busbar systems.
Thermal Performance and Power Loss
Maximum power loss is 38 W at rated current — relevant for enclosure heat load calculations when grouping multiple breakers.
