Product details

MCCB for line protection — 160 A continuous, 1600 A frame

Interrupting capacity is 187 kA at 240 V, dropping to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. The 105 mm width per 3-pole block fits typical DIN-rail or panel-mount layouts; verify gland-plate cutout against the existing backplate if retrofitting into a tightly packed enclosure.

Integration notes

The shunt trip allows remote tripping from a safety circuit or emergency-stop chain — wire it to a 24 VDC or 110 VAC signal, polarity matters for DC coils. The auxiliary switches provide status feedback (open/closed) to a PLC or indication lamp. Communication function is built in, so this variant supports remote monitoring and trip-data retrieval over the SENTRON bus — useful for energy management or predictive maintenance without adding an external module. Maximum power loss is 25.5 W. In a sealed enclosure with multiple breakers, that heat adds up; account for it in the thermal budget to avoid nuisance tripping from elevated internal ambient.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA2116-5JQ32-0HC0 at 240 V?

187 kA at 240 V. That rating applies to the 3-pole breaker with the line protection designation; it clears high-fault currents without external fusing.
