The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5JQ32-0HA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 160 A continuous at 40 °C through 70 °C — no derating needed across that full ambient span, which simplifies panel thermal budgeting. Its interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V AC, dropping to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then to 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. Ground-fault monitoring is implemented as summation current formation on the L-conductor. Power loss is listed at 25.5 W maximum.
