Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5JP32-0AH0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 160 A continuous current across the full 40 °C to 70 °C ambient range — no derating needed as the panel warms up. The ETU550 electronic trip unit gives you adjustable long-time (tr 0.5–20 s) and short-time delay (tsd up to 0.5 s), so you can shape the curve for selective coordination downstream.

That's unusual for an MCCB; most competitors start knocking off amps above 40 °C. The interrupting ratings span the common system voltages: 187 kA at 240 V covers low-voltage main breakers in North American panels; 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V handles European and Asian industrial distribution; 76 kA at 500 V and 3.8 kA at 690 V cover higher-voltage motor control centers. The ETU550 electronic trip unit is the brains: adjustable long-time pickup and delay (tr 0.5–20 s) lets you ride through motor inrush without nuisance trips; short-time delay (tsd up to 0.5 s) gives you selectivity with downstream breakers. Communication function is built in — this variant talks to the panel's monitoring system, so you get trip data and status without adding a separate module. For a main breaker that cycles a few times a year, it's effectively infinite. For a machine-tool disconnect that cycles daily, you'll want to track the count.

The 105 mm width and 86 mm depth are standard for the 3VA2 frame size — drops into existing SENTRON switchboard cutouts without panel modification. Height is 181 mm.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get pricing and availability for 3VA2116-5JP32-0AH0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. The part is sourced to order through independent distribution; current pricing and availability are confirmed at quote time.

What's the closest functional alternative — 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0?

The 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0 is a sibling with the same 160 A frame, 3-pole count, and ETU550 trip unit. The difference is in the accessory configuration (auxiliary contacts, shunt trip, or communication module). Check the -0AH0 suffix: it includes the communication function. The -0AE0 variant lacks that. Both share the same physical footprint and interrupting ratings, so a panel designed for one accepts the other without rewiring.

What are the physical dimensions — depth 86 mm, width 105 mm?

Yes, depth is 86 mm, width is 105 mm, height is 181 mm. These are the standard 3VA2 frame dimensions.

Will 3VA2116-5JP32-0AH0 drop into a panel built for 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0?

Yes, same frame size, same mounting footprint. The only difference is the communication function on the -0AH0 variant. No rewiring needed for the power connections.

What compliance documentation does this breaker carry?

As a Siemens SENTRON MCCB, it carries IEC 60947-2 certification for molded case circuit breakers. The IP40 front protection is per IEC 60529. RoHS and REACH compliance documentation is available from Siemens on request.
