Product details

SENTRON 3VA2 MCCB — 160 A line protection, 4-pole, high-interrupt

Breaking capacity is the headline here: 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.

The 140 mm width is standard for a 4-pole MCCB in this frame class — it occupies the same footprint as other SENTRON 3VA2 4-pole units, so a panel laid out for a 3VA2 160 A frame will accept this without re-drilling the mounting plate or re-routing bus bars. Power loss is 25.5 W maximum — relevant for thermal management inside a sealed enclosure.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2116-6HM46-0AA0?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through our independent distribution network. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm commitment.

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB at 415 V?

187 kA at 415 V, which is the same rating as at 440 V. This is a very high interrupt rating for a 160 A frame, suitable for high-fault-current installations.

Will 3VA2116-6HM46-0AA0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA2163-8HM32-0AA0?

Both are 4-pole SENTRON 3VA2 MCCBs in the same frame class, so the mounting footprint and bus-bar spacing are identical. The key difference is the continuous rating: this unit is 160 A, while the 3VA2163-8HM32-0AA0 is a different amp rating — verify the load requirement before substitution.
