Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-0KQ46-0AA0 is a 4-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 160 A continuous current, with a massive 440 kA breaking capacity at 415 V and 187 kA at 690 V. Designed for line protection, it carries an ETU860 electronic trip unit with adjustable N-conductor protection (OFF, 20% to 100%), ground-fault monitoring via summation current on L+N, and a communication function for integration into a power-monitoring scheme.

This breaker delivers its full 160 A rating from 40 °C all the way up to 70 °C ambient — no derating curve to chase. That makes it a clean drop into a hot switchboard or a crowded enclosure where adjacent breakers raise the internal temperature. The IP40 front protection keeps dust and accidental contact out of the breaker face; the body dimensions (86 mm deep, 140 mm wide, 181 mm high) fit standard MCCB mounting footprints in a panel or switchgear lineup.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2116-0KQ46-0AA0 and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced and quoted to order through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time against an RFQ.

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2116-0KQ46-0AA0?

440 kA at 415 V and 187 kA at 690 V — sufficient for fault currents on large transformer secondaries without upstream current limiting.

Does 3VA2116-0KQ46-0AA0 support communication for power monitoring?

Yes, it has a communication function for integration into a power-monitoring scheme, plus ground-fault monitoring via summation current on L+N.
