Product details

The 3VA2116-0HN46-0AA0 is a Siemens SENTRON molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 160 A continuous current, with a maximum breaking capacity of 440 kA at 415 V AC and 187 kA at 690 V AC. The N-conductor protection is configurable to OFF, 50%, or 100% of the phase current — useful for sizing the neutral on systems with harmonic content.

There is no official successor order code — the part is current, not replaced. If you need a functional cross-reference within the same SENTRON 3VA family, the closest peer is the 3VA1112-5EE32-0AA0, but that is a different frame size and rating; the 3VA2116-0HN46-0AA0 is the 160 A, 4-pole variant with the high-breaking ETU350 release. Do not assume a drop-in swap without checking the frame dimensions and terminal layout.

At 86 mm deep, this MCCB fits standard 200 mm deep switchboards with clearance for rear-connected busbars. The 140 mm width is a 4-pole frame — plan for a 4-module wide cutout in the mounting plate. Maximum power loss is 19.7 W, so ventilation in the enclosure should account for that heat at full load.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2116-0HN46-0AA0 and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2116-0HN46-0AA0 at 415 V and 690 V?

The breaking capacity is 440 kA at 415 V AC and 187 kA at 690 V AC. The 440 kA figure is exceptionally high — suitable for installations with very high available fault current, such as large transformer secondaries or industrial main switchboards.

Does 3VA2116-0HN46-0AA0 have an undervoltage release or communication function?

No. This breaker has no undervoltage release and no communication function. It also lacks ground-fault monitoring. It is a basic line-protection MCCB with an electronic trip unit.
