It carries a rated continuous current Iu of 160 A and an 800 V rated insulation voltage Ui, so it's sized for a 160 A feeder or a large motor branch circuit in a 480 V or 600 V class panel. The interrupting ratings climb to 187 kA at 240 V and 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then drop to 79 kA at 500 V and 4.25 kA at 690 V — that 4.25 kA figure at 690 V is the limiting case; if your system runs at 690 V, this breaker still clears a fault, but you need to check that the available fault current at that voltage stays under 4.25 kA. The overcurrent release is an ETU350 — an electronic trip unit that gives you adjustable long-time, short-time, and instantaneous pickup settings, plus ground-fault protection if the breaker is ordered with that option (this one ships without ground-fault monitoring).
This MCCB holds its full 160 A rating from 40 °C up to 50 °C ambient, then starts to derate: 154 A at 55 °C, 148 A at 60 °C, 142 A at 65 °C, and 136 A at 70 °C. Plan your load accordingly. The maximum power loss is 28 W, which is modest for a 160 A frame; it won't cook the panel, but don't stack it tight against other high-loss devices without some airflow. Latching endurance is rated at 20 000 operations — that's the mechanical life of the latching mechanism, not the electrical life under load. For a breaker that sees occasional switching (maybe once a day for maintenance), that's decades. If you're cycling it multiple times per shift as a disconnect, you'll wear it out faster.
What compliance documents to expect
As a Siemens SENTRON MCCB, this part carries the usual suite of compliance documentation: a CE declaration, RoHS and REACH statements, and UL/CSA listings for the North American market. The specific UL file number and CSA report are on the nameplate. If your quality doc control needs a PDF of the EU declaration of conformity or the RoHS compliance certificate, those are available from Siemens' support portal under the 3VA product family.
