The frame holds steady at 160 A all the way up to 50 °C; above that it derates to 158 A at 55 °C, 155 A at 60 °C, 153 A at 65 °C, and 150 A at 70 °C. That thermal curve is what you check when the breaker lives in a non-climate-controlled enclosure next to a furnace line. Breaking capacity drops as voltage rises: 154 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at both 500 V and 690 V.
At 70 mm deep, 76.2 mm wide, and 130 mm tall, this breaker fits the standard SENTRON 3VA mounting footprint — same bolt-hole pattern as the rest of the 160 A frame family. That saves an add-on module if your PLC needs both a run-permissive and a separate trip signal. The trip indicator gives a local visual flag on the breaker face, which helps a maintenance tech walking a row of panels spot a tripped unit without opening the door.
