Product details

SCCR and thermal derating

Interrupting capacity drops with system voltage: 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. The continuous current holds at 160 A up to 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.

The 3-pole footprint matches standard Siemens SENTRON 3VA panel cutouts. The undervoltage release and auxiliary switches are factory-installed; no field wiring of separate modules needed. No communication function or phase-failure detection is built in — this is a straight line-protection breaker.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA1116-5EF32-0BC0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing; pricing and stock are confirmed at quote time through independent distribution channels.

What is the closest functional second-source — 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0?

The 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0 is a lower-current sibling in the same SENTRON 3VA family. The 3VA1116-5EF32-0BC0 carries a 160 A rating versus the 3VA1112's lower continuous current; panel cutouts and mounting are identical, but the overcurrent release and interrupting ratings differ. Verify the BOM's required ampacity before substituting.

What is 3VA1116-5EF32-0BC0's listed depth?

The depth is 70 mm.

What is 3VA1116-5EF32-0BC0's listed width?

The width is 76.2 mm.

Will 3VA1116-5EF32-0BC0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0 without rewiring?

Yes — both breakers share the same 3-pole SENTRON 3VA footprint (130 mm height, 76.2 mm width, 70 mm depth). The cutout and bus-bar spacing are identical. No rewiring is needed for the mechanical fit, but the overcurrent release and interrupting ratings differ, so verify the protection coordination study accepts the higher 160 A rating.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA1116-5EF32-0BC0?

Siemens SENTRON MCCBs typically carry IEC 60947-2 certification and CE marking. The product reference code per DIN EN 81346-2 is Q. For specific RoHS/REACH/UL declarations, request the manufacturer's declaration of conformity with your RFQ.
