Breaking capacity and thermal derating
The 187 kA at 240 V drops to 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V — so if you're feeding a 480 V panel, the 75.6 kA figure is the one that governs your SCCR coordination study, not the headline number. Continuous current holds at 160 A up to 50 °C ambient; above that it derates to 153.6 A at 55 °C and 144 A at 70 °C.
Integrated releases and auxiliary contacts
The 3VA1116-5EF32-0CC0 measures 130 mm high, 76.2 mm wide, and 70 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint that bolts into a SENTRON distribution panel or a custom enclosure. Two auxiliary switches HQ mount internally, saving rail space versus external add-on blocks.
