Line protection MCCB — 160 A, TM240, high breaking capacity
The 3VA1116-6EF32-0JH0: Breaking capacity is 220 kA at 240 V, 154 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. These figures cover most industrial distribution voltages; the 220 kA at 240 V is particularly useful for high-fault locations like substation mains or large motor control centers. The auxiliary contact configuration includes two auxiliary switches plus one trip alarm switch (HQ). The overcurrent release is a TM240 — a thermal-magnetic type with a fixed rating of 160 A at 40 °C ambient, derating to 144 A at 70 °C. The breaker includes a voltage trigger and a trip indicator.
Dimensions and panel fit
Width is 76.2 mm, depth 70 mm, height 130 mm. The 76.2 mm width is a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint — it fits the same DIN-rail or panel-mount cutout as other SENTRON 3VA frames. Verify gland plate clearance for the 70 mm depth, especially in shallow enclosures.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The manufacturer lists this part as current production. It is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
