Product details

The interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V, dropping to 121 kA at 415 V and 75.6 kA at 440 V — enough to handle high-fault utility feeds or transformer secondaries without cascading upstream breakers.

Thermal derating and power dissipation

The breaker holds its 160 A rating 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. Maximum power loss is 40.5 W — factor that into your enclosure's thermal budget if you're stacking multiple breakers in a sealed panel.

Panel fit and mechanicals

The 70 mm depth leaves clearance for rear-access wiring and gland plates.

The breaker includes two HQ auxiliary switches (form C) and an undervoltage release (UVR).

The storage ceiling is higher than the operating ceiling — that's typical for shipping and warehouse conditions. No ground-fault monitoring version is included; if you need GF protection, you'd add an external module or choose a different variant.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA1116-5ED42-0BC0 at different voltages?

The interrupting capacity is 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. The high 187 kA rating at 240 V makes it suitable for secondary-side protection on large transformers or high-fault utility feeds.

What are the physical dimensions of this MCCB?

Height is 130 mm, width is 101.6 mm, and depth is 70 mm. The 4-pole body is wider than a 3-pole, so verify your panel's mounting footprint before ordering.

What auxiliary switches and releases come with 3VA1116-5ED42-0BC0?

It includes two HQ auxiliary switches and an undervoltage release (UVR). No voltage-trigger or communication function is built in.

Where can I buy 3VA1116-5ED42-0BC0 and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for your volume and delivery requirements.
