The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5HL36-0BL0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 160 A continuous current across the full 40–70 °C ambient range — no derating needed up to 70 °C. Its adjustable thermal-magnetic trip unit covers 240 A to 1600 A, which means you set the actual protection threshold to match the downstream load, not the breaker frame. That 160 A continuous rating is the frame limit; the trip setting determines what the breaker will carry without opening. The interrupting ratings climb steeply at lower voltages: 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. That means you get both remote status and undervoltage tripping without adding accessory kits — the UVR will drop the breaker if control voltage falls below its dropout threshold, which is standard for emergency-stop chains or mains-monitoring schemes.
The breaker itself is designed to IEC 60947-2 and carries the relevant markings for European and North American installations.
Maximum power loss is 28 W at rated current.
The closest functional sibling is the 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0. Both are 3-pole, 160 A continuous, SENTRON MCCBs with the same adjustable trip range. The difference is in the accessory complement: the -5HL36-0BL0 carries an undervoltage release plus the full auxiliary switch set (2 aux + 1 trip alarm + 1 electrical alarm), while the -5HL32-0AK0 ships without the UVR and with a different switch configuration. If your panel already has a separate undervoltage monitoring relay, the -5HL32-0AK0 will drop into the same mounting footprint and busbar connection — no rewiring of the main power path needed. But if the UVR is part of your safety circuit, the -5HL36-0BL0 is the correct order code.
