Product details

At 240 V the interrupting rating reaches 242 kA, dropping to 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then 121 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V.

Physical integration and panel fit

Dimensions are 181 mm height, 140 mm width, and 86 mm depth. The 140 mm width is standard for a 4-pole MCCB in the SENTRON 3VA frame — it fits the same cutout and bus-bar spacing as other 3VA2 breakers, so a panel designed for a 3VA2163-8JQ32-0AA0 will accept this unit without rewiring the main bus.

Trip unit and communication

The ETU850 electronic trip unit supports communication functions, enabling integration with energy management or remote monitoring systems. Power loss at maximum rated current is 25.5 W, which should be considered in enclosure thermal calculations.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2116-6KP42-0AA0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time through our independent distribution network.

What is the closest functional second-source to 3VA2116-6KP42-0AA0?

The 3VA2163-8JQ32-0AA0 is a peer within the same SENTRON 3VA2 frame family, but it carries a different trip unit and current rating — verify the specific protection curve and continuous current before substituting.

What is the depth of 3VA2116-6KP42-0AA0?

The depth is 86 mm (3.39 in), which is standard for the 3VA2 4-pole frame.

What is the width of 3VA2116-6KP42-0AA0?

The width is 140 mm (5.51 in), matching the standard 4-pole MCCB footprint in this series.

Will 3VA2116-6KP42-0AA0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA2163-8JQ32-0AA0 without rewiring?

Yes — both share the same 140 mm width and 181 mm height, so the bus-bar spacing and mounting cutout are identical; no rewiring of the main bus is required.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3VA2116-6KP42-0AA0?

Siemens typically supplies RoHS and REACH declarations, plus IEC/UL test reports for the SENTRON series. Specific certificates are available on request with the RFQ.
