The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5HN36-0KH0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 160 A continuous current across its full ambient range from 40 °C to 70 °C — no derating needed up to that ceiling. The interrupting ratings are substantial: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. That kind of headroom at common distribution voltages makes it a solid choice for high-fault-capacity main or subfeed positions where you need selectivity with downstream breakers.
