Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5JQ32-0AA0 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 up to that ceiling. That makes it a solid choice for a feeder or large motor branch where the panel ambient runs warm and you want one part number that holds its rating. Interrupting capacity is 187 kA at 240 V, stepping down to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. For a 480 V panel feeding a 160 A load, the 75.6 kA at 500 V bracket gives you headroom above typical 65 kA or 100 kA SCCR requirements — useful if the utility transformer is close or the fault current is hard to coordinate down.

Dimensions are 181 mm height, 105 mm width, 86 mm depth — a standard MCCB footprint for this current class. Maximum power loss is 25.5 W.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 3VA2116-5JQ32-0AA0 and what is the lead time?

This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or lead-time figure is published here, but it is actively produced and not subject to allocation.

What are the key ratings of the 3VA2116-5JQ32-0AA0?

It is a 3-pole MCCB rated 160 A continuous (no derating up to 70 °C ambient), with interrupting capacity of 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. It includes ground-fault monitoring and a communication function.

Will the 3VA2116-5JQ32-0AA0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs in the same frame size, so the footprint and mounting are identical. The difference is in the internal trip unit and accessories — the -5JQ32-0AA0 includes ground-fault monitoring and communication, while the -5JP32-0AE0 lacks those. No rewiring of the main power connections is needed, but you may need to add control wiring for the extra functions.
