Product details

The interrupting ratings are what define its fit in a distribution board: 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at both 415 V and 440 V, 79 kA at 500 V, and 4.25 kA at 690 V. The thermal derating curve is published across the operating range: the breaker carries the full 160 A from 40 °C through 50 °C, then steps down to 154 A at 55 °C, 148 A at 60 °C, 142 A at 65 °C, and 136 A at 70 °C.

Auxiliary contacts and undervoltage release — what's wired in

That's the full complement for remote status indication — open/closed, trip, and alarm on separate signal paths. The undervoltage release (UVR) is factory-fitted; its design is the standard undervoltage release type. The auxiliary trip assembly carries order code 3VA9608-0BB11, and the supplied basic switch assembly is 3VA2116-5HN36-0AA0 — these are the internal sub-assemblies, not external accessories. The breaker itself draws a maximum power loss of 28 W at rated current; that's the heat you need to account for in the enclosure thermal calculation.

Physical fit and environmental limits

Dimensions: 105 mm width, 181 mm height, 86 mm depth. That depth of 86 mm is the dimension from the mounting surface to the front of the breaker — relevant when fitting into a shallow enclosure or when clearance is needed for the arc chamber behind a deadfront. The latching endurance is rated at 20,000 operations — that's the mechanical life for the switching mechanism under no-load conditions.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2116-5HN36-0BL0 and get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm commercial response.

What are the interrupting ratings for 3VA2116-5HN36-0BL0 at different voltages?

The interrupting capacity is 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 79 kA at 500 V, and 4.25 kA at 690 V. These are the maximum fault currents the breaker can safely interrupt at each voltage level.

What is the depth of 3VA2116-5HN36-0BL0?

The depth is 86 mm, measured from the mounting surface to the front of the breaker.

What is the width of 3VA2116-5HN36-0BL0?

The width is 105 mm.

Will 3VA2116-5HN36-0BL0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2116-5HN32-0AL0 without rewiring?

Both variants share the same SENTRON 3VA platform and the same 3-pole, 160 A frame size, so the physical footprint and mounting pattern are identical. The difference is in the auxiliary contact configuration and the trip unit variant — verify that the auxiliary wiring matches your control scheme before direct swap.
