Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5HL36-0AB0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for a continuous current of 160 A across ambient temperatures up to 50 °C, with a 154 A rating at 55 °C and 136 A at 70 °C. It carries an interrupting capacity of 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 79 kA at 500 V, and 4.25 kA at 690 V — figures that govern its fault-clearing capability at the point of installation. No undervoltage release, no voltage trigger, no communication module, and no ground-fault monitoring are fitted on this variant — the base configuration is a straightforward thermal-magnetic replacement with electronic trip logic.

The 3VA2116-5HL36-0AB0 measures 105 mm wide by 181 mm high by 86 mm deep, fitting standard SENTRON 3VA panel cutouts and busbar systems. The latching endurance of 20 000 operations aligns with typical MCCB service life for feeder and main-switch duty in industrial panels.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2116-5HL36-0AB0?

Submit an RFQ through the storefront. The part is sourced to order through independent distribution; pricing and stock levels are confirmed at quote time.

What is the rated continuous current of this MCCB?

The 3VA2116-5HL36-0AB0 is rated for 160 A continuous current (Iu) at ambient temperatures up to 50 °C, with thermal derating above that: 154 A at 55 °C, 148 A at 60 °C, 142 A at 65 °C, and 136 A at 70 °C.

What interrupting capacity does this breaker have at 240 V?

It interrupts 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 79 kA at 500 V, and 4.25 kA at 690 V — the voltage-dependent curve is typical for an MCCB with an electronic trip unit.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA2116-5HL36-0AB0?

Siemens SENTRON MCCBs typically carry IEC 60947-2 certification, CE marking, and UL recognition; specific declaration files (RoHS, REACH) are available from the manufacturer's support portal by order code.
