The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5JQ32-0KA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for line protection, with a full-scale current of 160 A and a maximum breaking capacity of 1 600 A. It delivers 187 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V, dropping to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V — so the available fault current at the panelboard determines which voltage rating governs the installation.
Auxiliary and protection features
No undervoltage release is fitted. Communication function is present, enabling integration with higher-level monitoring systems. Maximum power loss is 25.5 W — account for this in thermal calculations for a sealed or high-fill panel.
