Product details

It carries a 187 kA breaking capacity at 240 V, stepping down to 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V — figures that govern its fault-interruption capability at each voltage level in the distribution panel.

The 160 A rating holds flat from 40 °C through 50 °C ambient, then derates to 153.6 A at 55 °C, 150.4 A at 60 °C, 147.2 A at 65 °C, and 144 A at 70 °C. That thermal curve means the breaker can carry its full nameplate in a 50 °C panel without upsizing — a common spec for non-climate-controlled enclosures. Above that, the derating is mild enough that most line-side loads still fit within the same frame. Breaking capacity across voltage bands tells you where this MCCB can be applied without cascading upstream: 187 kA at 240 V suits high-fault industrial panels; 121 kA at 415 V covers standard European distribution; 75.6 kA at 440 V and 17 kA at 690 V handle marine or heavy-industrial feeds.

Frame dimensions are 130 mm height, 76.2 mm width, 70 mm depth — a compact 3-pole footprint for DIN-rail or screw-mount panel integration. The TM240 thermal-magnetic release is fixed (non-interchangeable in this variant), so the trip curve and rating are locked at 160 A.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1116-5EF32-0AB0 at different voltages?

187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. These ratings determine where the breaker can safely interrupt faults without upstream coordination issues.

Where can I buy 3VA1116-5EF32-0AB0?

This part is available to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing — confirmed at quote time, no stock figures listed here.

Does this breaker include auxiliary contacts?

Yes, it comes with 2 auxiliary switches (HP type) for status signaling. No undervoltage release, shunt trip, or communication module is fitted on this variant.
