Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-6HN32-0CH0 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 as the panel warms up. Breaking capacity steps from 242 kA at 240 V down to 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then 121 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. That's a lot of fault-interrupting headroom for a 160 A frame; you're buying selectivity margin on the high side, not a breaker that's maxed out at its first fault.

Built-in extras that matter on the line

No communication function onboard; this is a hardwired breaker, not a smart metering unit.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2116-6HN32-0CH0 at 415 V?

187 kA at 415 V, which is the same rating as at 440 V. At 240 V it reaches 242 kA, and at 690 V it drops to 3.7 kA.

What does the undervoltage release do on this MCCB?

The undervoltage release (UVR) trips the breaker when control voltage drops below a threshold, commonly used in emergency-stop and safety isolation circuits to ensure the load is disconnected if control power is lost.

Where can I buy 3VA2116-6HN32-0CH0 and how is it quoted?

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

Will 3VA2116-6HN32-0CH0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON 3VA160 frame breakers with the same physical footprint (105 mm width, 181 mm height, 86 mm depth), so mechanical fit is identical. The difference is in the internal accessories: this unit has an undervoltage release and 2 auxiliary + 1 trip alarm switch, while the -5HL32 variant may have a different accessory configuration. Check the wiring diagram for the UVR coil connections before swapping.
