The Siemens SENTRON 3VA1116-5EF36-0AC0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 160 A continuous current at 40 °C, with a TM240 thermal-magnetic overcurrent release. That 160 A holds flat through 50 °C — you only start seeing derating above that, down to 144 A at 70 °C. The interrupting ratings are substantial: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. This is a line protection version, meaning it's configured for feeder or main breaker duty, not motor circuit protection. That makes it a straightforward, reliable choice for standard distribution panels where you don't need selective coordination curves or remote monitoring. The 2 auxiliary switches (HQ type) give you status feedback for SCADA or panel indication.

Frequently asked questions
What is the interrupting rating of 3VA1116-5EF36-0AC0 at 415 V?
121 kA at 415 V. It also carries 187 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V.
What does the TM240 release designation mean?
TM240 is a fixed thermal-magnetic overcurrent release — the thermal element handles overload protection, the magnetic element handles short-circuit. No electronic adjustments, no communication, no ground-fault monitoring built in.
Where can I buy 3VA1116-5EF36-0AC0 and how is it quoted?
We source and quote this part to order against an RFQ through our independent distribution network. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no automated stock count or price is listed here.
