Product details

The TM210 designation means the thermal element is fixed at 160 A (the frame rating), while the magnetic short-circuit pickup is adjustable from 5 to 10 times In — here set to a maximum of 1600 A. That adjustable magnetic threshold lets you coordinate with downstream devices without oversizing the breaker for motor inrush or transformer energization. Breaking capacity is the headline number for a main or feeder breaker: this unit delivers 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, and 75.6 kA at 440 V. Ambient temperature derating is built into the spec: the breaker carries the full 160 A up to 50 °C, then drops to 158 A at 55 °C, 155 A at 60 °C, 153 A at 65 °C, and 150 A at 70 °C.

The breaker measures 70 mm deep, 101.6 mm wide, and 130 mm high — a standard 4-pole MCCB footprint for DIN-rail or mounting-plate installation. The 100% N-conductor protection design means the neutral pole is fully rated and trips with the phase poles, not just a switched neutral.

DC rating and application flexibility

The breaker carries a maximum DC operational voltage rating of 600 V, which opens up use in DC bus distribution or battery-bank protection — not just AC feeder duty. The short-circuit design note references the 3VA device manual for DC network switching values, so consult that document for specific DC breaking capacity figures. An optional motor drive is available as a product extension for remote tripping or reset.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1116-5GD46-0AA0?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1116-5GD46-0AA0 at 415 V?

121 kA at 415 V, plus 187 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at both 500 V and 690 V.

What does the TM210 release mean on this MCCB?

The TM210 is a thermal-magnetic trip unit: the thermal element is fixed at 160 A (the frame rating), and the magnetic short-circuit pickup is adjustable from 5 to 10 times In, with a maximum setting of 1600 A.

Will 3VA1116-5GD46-0AA0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA1112-5EE32-0AA0?

Both are 4-pole SENTRON 3VA MCCBs on the same frame platform, so the mounting footprint and bus-bar spacing are identical. The main difference is the rating: this unit is 160 A with a TM210 release, while the 3VA1112 variant is a lower-current frame. No rewiring is needed if the bus and lug sizes match the higher current.
