Above 50 °C it steps down: 154 A at 55 °C, 148 A at 60 °C, 142 A at 65 °C, and 136 A at 70 °C. That temperature curve is what you size against if the breaker sits near other heat sources on the DIN rail. Interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 79 kA at 500 V, and 4.25 kA at 690 V. The 690 V figure is lower but still covers most motor-circuit fault levels in IEC 60947-2 territory. The ETU560 electronic trip unit handles the overcurrent release. It's a three-pole breaker with an undervoltage release fitted, and it includes communication capability — so it can talk to a BMS or PLC for remote trip indication and load monitoring.

Frequently asked questions
What is the depth of 3VA2116-5JQ32-0BL0?
The listed depth is 86 mm, with a width of 105 mm and height of 181 mm.
Will 3VA2116-5JQ32-0BL0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0?
The 3VA2116 is a different frame size — 160 A vs the 3VA1112's lower rating — so the footprint and bus connections differ. It won't drop in without rewiring the bus bars and checking the cutout dimensions. The 3VA1112 is a 3VA1 frame; this is a 3VA2 frame, physically larger.
