The Siemens SENTRON 3VA1216-5EF32-0BC0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 160 A continuous current across a 40 °C to 50 °C ambient window, with no derating needed in that band. Above 55 °C the current capacity steps down in a published thermal curve — 156 A at 55 °C, 151 A at 60 °C, 147 A at 65 °C, 142 A at 70 °C — so a panel builder can size the breaker for a warm enclosure without guessing the margin. At 240 V AC it interrupts 187 kA; at 415 V AC that drops to 121 kA; at 440 V AC it is 75.6 kA; at 500 V AC it is 30 kA; at 690 V AC it is 17 kA. For a site electrical engineer working a 480 V distribution panel, the 30 kA at 500 V gives the SCCR headroom to coordinate with a transformer secondary or a generator bus.
The 70 mm depth leaves room behind a gland plate for cable bending radius. The UVR is the design-of-the-auxiliary-release, so the breaker trips automatically when control voltage drops — common for emergency-stop chains or undervoltage protection on motor feeders. No ground-fault monitoring module is included; that is a separate add-on if the application needs it.
