Product details

SENTRON 3VA2 — 160 A line-protection MCCB with full-breaking-capacity coverage

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-6HN32-0BH0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 160 A continuous current across the full 40 °C to 70 °C ambient range — no derating needed up to 70 °C. It is designed for line protection (cable and busbar feeder protection) in commercial and industrial distribution panels. Breaking capacity spans from 242 kA at 240 V down to 3.7 kA at 690 V, covering high-fault utility service entrances (242 kA at 240 V) through 690 V industrial loads where the available fault current is lower. At 415 V and 440 V it delivers 187 kA; at 500 V, 121 kA.

Built-in auxiliary and undervoltage release — no separate purchase needed

A trip indicator is present on the front face, giving immediate visual confirmation that the breaker has opened on fault rather than by manual switching.

Footprint and panel integration

Verify the busbar pitch and cable lug centers against the existing panel layout before committing the BOM line.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2116-6HN32-0BH0 and what is the lead time?

This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through authorized distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time; no stock count or lead-time number is published here because both change with real-time supply conditions.

Will 3VA2116-6HN32-0BH0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0 without rewiring?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON 3VA2 frame MCCBs with the same 105 mm width and 181 mm height. The 86 mm depth is also identical. The 5HL32-0AK0 variant carries different internal accessories (no UVR, different auxiliary switch count), so the physical mounting and busbar connection are compatible, but the control wiring for the undervoltage release on this part must be added if the panel was wired without it.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3VA2116-6HN32-0BH0?

As a current-production SENTRON MCCB, it carries RoHS and REACH compliance, plus UL and IEC certifications (specific listing numbers available on request). Full declaration of conformity and test reports are provided with each authorized-channel shipment.
