Product details

It carries a 187 kA breaking capacity at 240 VAC, dropping to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V — so on a 480 V system you have over 75 kA of fault-interruption headroom, which covers most industrial service-entrance and feeder applications without needing a current-limiting fuse upstream.

The 4-pole construction lets you switch all three phases plus neutral, or use the fourth pole as a switched neutral in TN-S systems. The 86 mm depth means it fits in shallow enclosures where taller breakers would hit the door. Power loss is 25.5 W maximum at rated current — useful for calculating heat rise in a sealed enclosure. The ground-fault monitoring version uses summation current formation on L + N conductor, which detects leakage without a separate GFCI module.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2116-5HM42-0AA0 and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced to order through our independent distribution network. Submit an RFQ for current pricing and availability — we confirm both at quote time.

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB at 480 V?

At 500 V the breaking capacity is 75.6 kA, and at 440 V it is 121 kA. For a 480 V system you interpolate between those — expect roughly 100 kA, which covers most industrial service-entrance applications.

Does this breaker require derating at high ambient temperatures?

No — the 160 A continuous rating holds flat from 40 °C through 70 °C ambient. No derating curve to apply for warm enclosures.

What compliance documentation is available for this part?

The evidence does not list specific compliance certificates (UL, IEC, RoHS, REACH) for this exact order code. Standard Siemens SENTRON MCCBs typically carry IEC 60947-2 and UL 489 certifications; confirm the specific documents needed with your RFQ request.
