Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5HL36-0AH0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for line protection, carrying a continuous current of 160 A across the full 40 °C to 70 °C ambient range — no derating needed up to that ceiling. Its breaking capacity reaches 187 kA at 240 V AC, stepping down to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. At 690 V the same device still clears 3.7 kA, enough for most 690 V distribution panels but not for high-fault 690 V switchgear.

The 105 mm width is the critical dimension for a multi-breaker panel: it occupies three 35 mm DIN-rail modules (105 mm ÷ 35 mm/module = 3), so it fills three adjacent spaces on the rail. That gives three independent signal contacts for status feedback — one for the alarm contact on trip, two for open/closed position. If your BOM calls for more than three auxiliary contacts, you will need an external auxiliary switch block on top.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2116-5HL36-0AH0 at 240 V?

187 kA at 240 V AC. At 415 V and 440 V it is 121 kA, at 500 V it is 75.6 kA, and at 690 V it is 3.7 kA.

Where can I buy 3VA2116-5HL36-0AH0?

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

Does 3VA2116-5HL36-0AH0 require derating at high ambient temperatures?

No derating is required from 40 °C through 70 °C — it holds 160 A across that entire range.
