Product details

Breaking capacity is the headline here: 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415/440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. Width and height are standard for this frame size; it'll drop into a 3-pole SENTRON mounting base without panel rework.

Integration and auxiliaries

That's a safety feature for machinery where loss of control power should kill the load, not leave it live. That's enough for a PLC to know whether the breaker is open manually or tripped on a fault. Rated as line protection, not motor protection — there's no adjustable overload curve for a motor start. Use it for feeder, distribution, or backup protection where the load is a bus or a group of downstream devices. Maximum power loss is 28 W at rated current, which is modest for a 160 A frame; it won't cook the neighboring devices in a dense DIN-rail layout.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2116-6HL32-0DH0 and what is the lead time?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or lead-time number is published here, but a quote request will return real-time supply posture.

Will 3VA2116-6HL32-0DH0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0 without rewiring?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs on the same frame size, so the mounting footprint and bus-bar centers are identical. The difference is in the auxiliaries and release configuration — verify the control wiring for the undervoltage release and auxiliary switch arrangement matches your panel schematic before swapping. Physically it bolts in.

What is the continuous current rating and does it derate in a warm panel?

Rated 160 A continuous from 40 °C through 70 °C ambient — no derating needed in a warm enclosure. That's unusual for a 160 A frame and saves panel builders from having to oversize the breaker for a hot environment.
