It carries a rated continuous current Iu of 160 A across a wide ambient temperature window — full rating holds at 40 °C, 45 °C, and 50 °C, then derates to 154 A at 55 °C, 148 A at 60 °C, 142 A at 65 °C, and 136 A at 70 °C. That flat plateau up to 50 °C is useful in a warm panel without oversizing. The interrupting capacity is specified at multiple voltages: 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 5 kA at 690 V. For a 415 V distribution board, 187 kA gives substantial headroom above typical available fault currents, which simplifies coordination studies and reduces the need for current-limiting fuses upstream. The overcurrent release is an ETU320 electronic trip unit — a basic but field-proven design with fixed thermal and magnetic curves, no communication or ground-fault monitoring.
If you are replacing an existing 3VA2116-6HL32-0AA0 or retrofitting the shunt trip, these are the exact sub-assembly references for the spare-parts order. Maximum power loss is 25.5 W — a non-trivial heat source in a sealed enclosure; account for it in the thermal budget.
