Product details

Siemens 3VA2116-5KP42-0AA0 — 160 A SENTRON MCCB with ETU850 Trip Unit

Breaking capacity is 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. The 690 V figure is low enough that you need to verify coordination if that's your service voltage; at typical 400/415 V distribution levels the 121 kA SCCR covers most utility-fault scenarios without cascading upstream. That means no de-rate calculation for a warm panel — the breaker delivers its full nameplate at any temperature inside its operating range of -25 °C to 70 °C.

Compliance documentation is standard for Siemens SENTRON: the breaker is designed to meet IEC 60947-2 and UL 489 requirements. RoHS and REACH declarations of conformity are available on request.

Integration & Physical Fit

Verify the busbar or cable-entry clearance against the 86 mm depth; it fits most distribution boards without a deep enclosure. The ETU850 trip unit includes a communication function, enabling integration with higher-level monitoring or energy-management systems. No undervoltage release or voltage trigger is fitted as standard; those are field-addable accessories if your safety circuit requires a shunt or UVR. Maximum power loss is 25.5 W at rated current — account for that heat in the enclosure thermal calculation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of the 3VA2116-5KP42-0AA0 at 415 V?

121 kA at 415 V AC, which is the same rating it carries at 440 V. At 240 V it reaches 187 kA; at 500 V it drops to 75.6 kA, and at 690 V to 3.7 kA.

Does the 3VA2116-5KP42-0AA0 have a communication function?

Yes. The ETU850 electronic trip unit includes a communication function for integration with monitoring or energy-management systems.

Where can I buy the 3VA2116-5KP42-0AA0 and how is it quoted?
