Product details

The 187 kA interrupting rating at 240 V means it handles high-fault-current utility feeds without cascading upstream; at 415 V it still breaks 121 kA, and at 690 V it holds 17 kA. That SCCR headroom matters when the transformer is close to the panel. The 160 A rating holds flat from 40 °C to 50 °C, then derates to 144 A at 70 °C — a panel in a hot mechanical room loses about 10 % of capacity.

Width 76.2 mm, depth 70 mm, height 130 mm. That 76.2 mm width is three 25.4 mm pole spaces — standard for a 3-pole MCCB on a DIN rail or bolted to a backplate. Depth of 70 mm means it clears most shallow enclosures; verify the door clearance if the breaker is mounted near the cover.

Auxiliary contacts and release options

The TM210 release has an adjustable long-time pickup and a fixed magnetic trip; the tr max is 1 second at the rated multiple.

Environmental range

The storage range covers cold warehouses and hot shipping containers. Latching endurance is 15 000 cycles — typical for a distribution breaker that sees infrequent switching.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1116-5ED32-0AC0 and get a price?

Sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a quote request; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1116-5ED32-0AC0 at 415 V?

121 kA at 415 V. That's the interrupting rating for a 400 V three-phase system — enough for most industrial service entrances.

Does 3VA1116-5ED32-0AC0 include a shunt trip or undervoltage release?

No. It has no undervoltage release, no shunt trip, and no auxiliary release. The only auxiliary contacts are the 2 HQ switches for status feedback.

What is the rated continuous current of this MCCB?

160 A at 40 °C to 50 °C, derating to 144 A at 70 °C. The TM210 thermal-magnetic release is sized for that 160 A frame.
