Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-6HL36-0AC0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 160 A continuous current, built around the ETU320 electronic trip unit. Just the breaker, two auxiliary switches (HQ type), and the trip unit doing the work.

This MCCB carries 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 3.8 kA at 690 V. For a 480 V panel (common in North America), the 187 kA at 440 V is the closest published figure — that's well above typical available fault current in most industrial distribution boards, so you've got headroom for selectivity coordination downstream.

Thermal derating — flat to 70 °C

Rated continuous current holds at 160 A all the way from 40 °C to 70 °C ambient. No derating curve to calculate for typical panel temperatures — that's unusual for an MCCB in this class and simplifies the panel builder's job.

Physical fit — panel integration

Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 181 mm high, 86 mm deep. That's a standard SENTRON 3VA frame size — it'll drop into the same DIN-rail or screw-mount footprint as other 3VA breakers in the 160 A class.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2116-6HL36-0AC0?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2116-6HL36-0AC0 at 480 V?

The published breaking capacities are 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 3.8 kA at 690 V. For a 480 V system, the 187 kA at 440 V figure is the closest published rating — it's conservative for most industrial applications.

What trip unit does 3VA2116-6HL36-0AC0 use?

It uses the ETU320 electronic trip unit, which is a line-protection trip — no ground-fault or communication functions onboard.

Will 3VA2116-6HL36-0AC0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1010-2ED32-0JA0?

Both are SENTRON 3VA frame breakers, so the mounting footprint and bus-bar spacing are the same family. The 3VA2116-6HL36-0AC0 is a 160 A, 3-pole unit with an ETU320 trip; the 3VA1010-2ED32-0JA0 is a different current rating and trip configuration. Verify the ampacity and trip curve match your panel design before swapping.
