Siemens 3VA2116-5HL32-0CC0 — 160 A SENTRON MCCB for Line Protection
Breaking capacity runs 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V, so it handles high-fault commercial and industrial service entrances where the available short-circuit current is substantial.
That simplifies BOM sizing: the breaker carries its full nameplate current even in a warm enclosure. The 3-pole line-protection design means it's configured for ungrounded or corner-grounded delta systems, not for solidly-grounded wye with a separate neutral pole.
Breaking Capacity by Voltage — One Breaker, Multiple Fault Levels
This MCCB carries a single interrupting rating that varies by system voltage: 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. The breaker's physical footprint is 181 mm high, 105 mm wide, 86 mm deep — standard for a 160 A frame in the SENTRON 3VA2 family.
