Product details

It is a 4-pole unit designed for line protection, with a maximum interrupting capacity of 187 kA at 240 V AC, dropping to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. The basic switch assembly is order code 3VA21165JP420AA0, which is the replaceable switching mechanism inside the molded case.

That 140 mm width is the standard 4-pole MCCB footprint for the SENTRON 3VA2 frame — it occupies the same DIN-rail or mounting-plate real estate as other 4-pole breakers in the series, so swapping in this unit for a like-frame 3VA2 variant should not require drilling new holes or reworking gland plates. Depth of 86 mm leaves room for rear-access busbars in a typical 600 mm deep enclosure.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2116-5JP42-0AH0 and how do I get a price?

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

Will 3VA2116-5JP42-0AH0 drop into a panel that was specified around 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0 without rewiring?

Yes. Both share the same 4-pole frame, 140 mm width, 86 mm depth, and 181 mm height. The mounting footprint and busbar connections are identical. The only difference is the communication function and auxiliary switch count — no rewiring needed for the power circuit.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA2116-5JP42-0AH0?

Siemens SENTRON MCCBs typically carry UL, CSA, CE, and IEC certifications. Specific declarations (RoHS, REACH) are included in the manufacturer's documentation package available on request.
