The interrupting rating hits 220 kA at 240 V AC, 154 kA at 415 V, and still holds 17 kA at 690 V — that's enough for high-fault utility feeds without cascading upstream breakers.
The breaker measures 70 mm deep by 76.2 mm wide by 130 mm tall — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint that drops into most SENTRON distribution blocks and panelboards without re-drilling.
This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent industrial-automation distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or price is published here, but a quote request will get you a firm number and lead time.
Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs with the same 70 mm depth and 76.2 mm width, so the mechanical footprint is identical. The electrical ratings differ — this one is 160 A versus the lower-rated sibling — but the mounting hole pattern and bus-bar spacing are shared across the 3VA family, so no panel rework is needed for the swap.
As a Siemens SENTRON product, this MCCB carries the usual IEC/UL/CSA certifications for the class. RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Siemens documentation. Specific approval marks (UL 489, IEC 60947-2) are standard for the 3VA series.
Alternative models and sibling configurations in the same Siemens series. For obsolete or discontinued parts, these models can serve as compatible replacements or functional alternatives for plant maintenance.
