Product details

This Siemens 3VA1116-4EF36-0BH0 is a 3-pole IEC frame 160 molded case circuit breaker from the 3VA1 series, rated at In=160A with a TM240 thermal-magnetic trip unit. The 'breaking capacity class S' means it can interrupt 36 kA at 415 VAC — enough for most industrial distribution boards downstream of a transformer, but not for a main service entrance with a higher fault current. The TM240 trip gives you an adjustable overload range from 112 A to 160 A via a dial, and the short-circuit pickup (Ii) is adjustable from 5× to 10× In, so you can set it to ride through motor inrush or tighten it for feeder protection. The part arrives with an undervoltage release (UVR) coil rated for 24 V DC — that's the 'UVR 24V DC' in the order code. It also includes two HQ auxiliary switches and one HQ trip alarm switch, so the panel PLC gets a separate status contact for 'breaker on' and 'breaker tripped on fault' — no need to add a separate auxiliary block later.

The UVR coil draws its 24 V DC from the control circuit; if you're reusing an existing panel's 24 V bus, verify the coil's inrush doesn't drop the bus below the PLC's hold-up threshold. The two HQ auxiliary switches and the trip alarm switch are wired via the front-accessible terminal blocks, so you can land the control wiring without pulling the breaker out of the panel.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for this part?

Pricing and availability are confirmed at quote time. Submit an RFQ through the storefront; the order is sourced and quoted to order through independent distribution channels.

What does the 36 kA breaking capacity at 415 V mean for my panel?

The 36 kA Icu at 415 V AC means this breaker can safely interrupt a fault current up to 36,000 amps without welding its contacts or rupturing the case. That's class S (standard) breaking capacity — suitable for sub-distribution boards where the prospective fault current is below that level. For main service entrances with higher fault currents, you'd step up to a class H or L frame.

What is the adjustable trip range on this MCCB?

The TM240 thermal-magnetic trip unit allows overload protection (Ir) adjustable from 112 A to 160 A, and short-circuit protection (Ii) adjustable from 5× to 10× In — meaning 800 A to 1600 A. This lets you tune the breaker to the actual load current and motor inrush characteristics.

What accessories are included with this order code?

This variant ships with an undervoltage release (UVR) rated 24 V DC, two HQ auxiliary switches, and one HQ trip alarm switch — all factory-fitted. No separate accessory ordering or field installation is needed for these functions.
