Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-6HN32-0KA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 160 A continuous current across the full ambient range of 40 °C to 70 °C — no derating needed up to that ceiling. The breaking capacity sits at 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 3.7 kA at 690 V is the limit for 690 V line-to-line systems; if your service voltage is 690 V, verify the available fault current stays under that figure.

Deployment context

Key electrical ratings

The shunt trip release is a voltage-trigger type, not undervoltage; it requires a control voltage to fire, so plan for a separate control circuit.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get pricing and availability for 3VA2116-6HN32-0KA0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. The part is sourced to order through independent distribution; current pricing and stock levels are confirmed at quote time.

What is the depth of 3VA2116-6HN32-0KA0?

The depth is 86 mm (3.39 in).

What is the width of 3VA2116-6HN32-0KA0?

The width is 105 mm (4.13 in).

Will 3VA2116-6HN32-0KA0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA1112-5EE32-0AA0 without rewiring?

The 3VA2116-6HN32-0KA0 is a 3-pole MCCB with a shunt trip release, while the 3VA1112-5EE32-0AA0 is a different variant. The physical footprint (105 mm width, 86 mm depth) may differ; verify the mounting dimensions and terminal positions against the existing panel layout before ordering. The wiring scheme for the shunt trip control circuit will also differ from a breaker without that release.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3VA2116-6HN32-0KA0?

The evidence does not list specific compliance certifications (UL, CSA, CE, RoHS, REACH) for this exact order code. Typically, Siemens SENTRON MCCBs carry UL 489 and IEC 60947-2 certifications; request the declaration of conformity and material compliance documents at quote time.
