The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5JQ32-0KH0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 160 A continuous at 40 °C, with a full-scale value of 160 A. It carries 187 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V, stepping down to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V — so it handles high-fault utility feeds at lower voltages while still breaking moderate faults at 690 V. It also has a trip indicator and a voltage trigger, making it suitable for remote signaling and undervoltage supervision in a control panel.
