Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-6HN32-0HH0 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 that ceiling. Interrupting capacity hits 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415/440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. The line-protection design means it's set up for feeder and main breaker duty, not motor or generator protection.

That's unusual for an MCCB; many competitors start derating above 40 °C. At 690 V the interrupting capacity drops to 3.7 kA — still adequate for most 690 V distribution, but not for high-fault locations at that voltage. Power loss is 25.5 W maximum — useful for thermal budget in a sealed enclosure.

Mounts in a standard panel cutout for this SENTRON frame size. The 105 mm width and 86 mm depth are the critical dimensions for DIN-rail or backplate layout. The shunt trip (STL) auxiliary release requires a separate control signal — wire it through an emergency-stop or remote-trip circuit. No ground-fault monitoring version is included on this order code.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2116-6HN32-0HH0?

Submit an RFQ — availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time through independent distribution. No stock count or lead-time figure is published here.

What is 3VA2116-6HN32-0HH0's interrupting capacity at 240 V?

242 kA at 240 V, which covers most service-entrance fault-current scenarios without needing a current-limiting upstream device.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for this MCCB?

As a Siemens SENTRON product, it carries the standard IEC/UL certifications for molded case circuit breakers. Specific RoHS, REACH, UL, and IEC declarations are available from Siemens documentation — no certificate numbers are listed in this record.
