It is a line-protection version — no voltage trigger, no communication function, no phase failure detection — built for straightforward feeder or main breaker duty in distribution panels. Its interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. The integrated auxiliary trip is order code 3VA9608-0BB25.
Above that it derates: 153.6 A at 55 °C, 150.4 A at 60 °C, 147.2 A at 65 °C, and 144 A at 70 °C. Dimensions are 130 mm height, 76.2 mm width, 70 mm depth — a 3-pole MCCB that fits standard Siemens SENTRON mounting footprints. The 76.2 mm width (3 inches) is the same as the 3VA1112 and 3VA1110 siblings, so a panel drilled for those will take this 160 A version without reworking the gland plate or bus bar layout.
What it does not include
No ground fault monitoring, no communication module, no phase failure detection, no voltage trigger. The overcurrent release is TM240 — thermal-magnetic, not electronic. If the application requires ground fault protection or Modbus communication, this is not the variant; look at the 3VA2 series with electronic releases.
