Product details

The interrupting capacity scales with system voltage: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. The TM240 release gives a fixed thermal pickup and magnetic trip threshold — no interchangeable rating plugs, so the breaker is sized to the load from the start. The 76.2 mm width (three 25.4 mm pole spacings) matches standard SENTRON 3VA panel cutouts and busbar centers.

Active production — no LTB pressure on this BOM line

Auxiliary contact block is factory-fitted: three HQ auxiliary switches.

Above 55 °C it derates linearly: 153.6 A at 55 °C, 150.4 A at 60 °C, 147.2 A at 65 °C, 144 A at 70 °C. If the panel internal ambient hits 60 °C near the top of a sealed enclosure, the breaker still carries 150 A — that's the figure to use for the thermal coordination study, not the 160 A nameplate. Mechanical endurance is 15,000 operations — typical for a distribution MCCB that cycles a few times a year, not a motor-switching contactor that cycles daily.

This is a current-production, widely stocked SENTRON catalog item.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA1116-5EF36-0AD0?

Submit an RFQ through the storefront. The part is sourced and quoted to order through independent distribution; pricing and lead time are confirmed at quote time.

What's the closest functional alternative to 3VA1116-5EF36-0AD0?

The 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0 is a lower-current variant in the same SENTRON 3VA family. It shares the same frame size and interrupting ratings but is rated for a lower continuous current. It will not drop into a panel wired for 160 A without downsizing the load circuit.

What is the depth of 3VA1116-5EF36-0AD0?

70 mm deep, 76.2 mm wide, 130 mm tall. The 70 mm depth fits standard distribution panelboard gutters.

What compliance documentation is available for 3VA1116-5EF36-0AD0?

As a Siemens SENTRON catalog item, it carries CE marking for the European market and is designed to IEC 60947-2. UL and CSA listings are standard for the 3VA family; specific certification markings are confirmed on the nameplate of the delivered unit.
