Product details

The 187 kA breaking capacity at 240 V AC means it can safely clear a fault up to that level without the arc flashing over or the breaker rupturing; at 415 V and 440 V it still holds 121 kA, and at 690 V it derates to 4.25 kA — so for 400 V class systems this breaker sits comfortably in high-fault-current positions like main incomers or bus-tie feeders.

Thermal derating and ambient — the real-world current you can count on

At 55 °C it derates to 154 A, at 60 °C to 148 A, at 65 °C to 142 A, and at 70 °C to 136 A.

The 3-pole design with no auxiliary contact version means you'll need to add an external auxiliary contact block if you want remote status feedback.

What the trip unit does — ETU320 electronic release

The ETU320 is an electronic overcurrent release with LSI protection curves (long-time, short-time, instantaneous). It gives you adjustable pickup and time-delay settings for selective coordination downstream — you can set the short-time delay so a feeder breaker clears a fault before this main breaker trips, keeping the rest of the bus live.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 3VA2116-5HL32-0CA0 and get a price?

Sourced and quoted to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing — confirmed at quote time.

What is the closest functional second-source to the 3VA2116-5HL32-0CA0?

The 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0 is a lower-current sibling in the same SENTRON 3VA1 frame — it shares the 3-pole form factor and ETU release family but has a lower rated current and breaking capacity. It will not drop into a panel specified for the 160 A 3VA2116 without rewiring the feeder and checking the fault-current rating.

What is the depth of the 3VA2116-5HL32-0CA0?

86 mm depth, 105 mm width, 181 mm height — standard 3VA2 frame dimensions.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for this MCCB?

As a standard SENTRON catalog item, Siemens provides RoHS, REACH, and CE declarations of conformity, plus IEC 60947-2 test reports. UL/CSA listings vary by variant — confirm with the order code suffix.
