Product details

MCCB for line protection — 160 A, 187 kA at 240 V

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-5KP32-0JC0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 160 A continuous current, designed for line protection in distribution panels. Its interrupting capacity reaches 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, and 75.6 kA at 500 V — enough to handle high-fault utility feeds or transformer secondaries without cascading upstream. The breaker includes a shunt trip release (STL) and two HQ auxiliary switches, plus a communication function for integration into a monitoring system. The basic switch assembly is order code 3VA21165KP320AA0.

Panel fit — dimensions and mounting

The breaker measures 105 mm wide, 181 mm high, and 86 mm deep — a standard SENTRON 3VA2 footprint that fits existing panel cutouts and busbar systems for this class. The 3-pole block occupies a single mounting position on the DIN rail or direct panel mount.
