Product details

Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5HL32-0HC0 — 160 A MCCB with High Interrupting Capacity

It carries a continuous current rating of 160 A across the full ambient temperature range from 40 °C to 70 °C — no derating needed up to that ceiling, which simplifies panel layout when the breaker sits near other heat sources. Breaking capacity is the headline number here: 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.

Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, 86 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint. Power loss is 25.5 W maximum at rated load — relevant for thermal calculations inside a sealed panel. Operating temperature range is -25 °C to 70 °C; storage from -40 °C to 80 °C.

Frequently asked questions

Will 3VA2116-5HL32-0HC0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs in the same physical footprint (105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, 86 mm deep), so the panel cutout and mounting pattern are identical. The difference is in the internal accessories — verify the shunt trip and auxiliary switch configuration match your schematic before swapping.
