Its continuous current rating is 160 A, with an adjustable overload trip range from 240 A minimum to 1 600 A maximum — meaning the breaker can be coordinated to protect feeders or large branch circuits within that window. Breaking capacity varies sharply by system voltage: 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. That 690 V figure is low enough that the breaker is effectively a 500 V-class device for high-fault applications; at 690 V the available fault current must be verified against the 3.7 kA limit.
Selectivity and coordination
Power loss is 25.5 W maximum at rated current. That figure feeds the enclosure thermal budget; for a multi-breaker lineup, summing the losses determines whether forced ventilation is required.
The 3VA2116-6JQ46-0AA0 carries communication function and summation-current ground-fault monitoring (L + N conductor), features that differentiate it from simpler frame variants. If the customer's approved manufacturer list specifies these options, no deviation is needed.
Dimensions are 86 mm depth, 140 mm width, 181 mm height. The storage minimum is the handling limit — the breaker can be warehoused in unheated facilities, but commissioning below -25 °C is not supported.
