Product details

SENTRON 3VA2116-5KP32-0AF0 — 160 A MCCB with Communication

This breaker's interrupting rating drops as system voltage rises: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. The steep fall at 690 V means it's not a primary choice for 690 V distribution unless the available fault current is well below 3.7 kA. At 400/415 V — the common industrial voltage in Europe and much of Asia — the 121 kA rating covers virtually all standard panelboard applications.

The 105 mm width (4.13 in) matches the typical 3-pole MCCB cutout; the 86 mm depth (3.39 in) leaves clearance for rear-connected busbars or cable lugs. Mounts directly onto DIN rail or panel-mount plate with the supplied hardware. The communication function uses the breaker's internal bus interface — no external gateway needed for basic status reporting.

Environmental and Electrical Ratings

Maximum power loss is 25.5 W. The undervoltage release is not fitted; ground-fault monitoring is not included.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2116-5KP32-0AF0 at 415 V?

121 kA at 415 V. The same rating applies at 440 V. At 240 V it reaches 187 kA.

Will 3VA2116-5KP32-0AF0 drop into a panel built for 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON 3VA2 frame MCCBs with the same 160 A rating. The physical dimensions (181 x 105 x 86 mm) are identical across the 3VA2 family, so the cutout and mounting points match. The difference is in the accessory configuration — this unit carries one auxiliary switch plus one trip alarm switch HQ, while the -5JP32 variant may differ. Check the specific auxiliary switch count on the existing panel's bill of materials before swapping.

Where can I buy 3VA2116-5KP32-0AF0 and how is it quoted?
