It carries a continuous current of 160 A at 40 °C, derating to 150 A at 70 °C — the thermal curve governs the real-world ampacity in a warm enclosure, so size the upstream bus and downstream load for the 150 A end if the panel runs hot. Breaking capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V AC and 121 kA at 415 V, dropping to 17 kA at 500 V and 690 V.
Footprint is 130 mm high × 76.2 mm wide × 70 mm deep — standard SENTRON 3VA three-pole width, so it drops into the same DIN-rail or screw-mount position as other 3VA frames without re-drilling the backplate. Max power loss of 38 W at rated load — minimal heat rejection for a 160 A frame, so adjacent devices in a dense panel stay within their ambient limits without forced cooling.
