Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-6HL32-0DC0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for line protection, carrying 160 A continuous current across the full ambient range from 40 °C to 70 °C — no derating needed up to that ceiling. Its interrupting capacity hits 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V — so it handles high-fault utility feeds at the lower voltages and still clears a 690 V fault, though the margin tightens there.

Maximum power loss is 28 W, so ventilation in a sealed enclosure is advisable if multiple breakers are ganged — that heat adds up.

The 160 A continuous rating at 40-70 °C means this breaker carries a full 160 A load even in a hot panel near the top of its ambient range. At 415 V the 187 kA still covers most industrial service entrances.

Frequently asked questions

Will 3VA2116-6HL32-0DC0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0 without rewiring?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON 3VA2 frame MCCBs with the same 160 A continuous rating and identical dimensions (181 x 105 x 86 mm). The -6HL32-0DC0 variant adds an undervoltage release and two auxiliary switches HQ; the -5HL32-0AK0 may have different internal accessories. Panel cutout and bus connections are the same, but verify the auxiliary wiring and UVR coil voltage match your control circuit before dropping it in.

What is 3VA2116-6HL32-0DC0's listed depth?

86 mm (3.39 in).
