The Siemens 3VA2116-6KQ36-0AA0 is a SENTRON molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) designed for line protection, rated 160 A continuous current across a 3-pole configuration. Its breaking capacity reaches 242 kA at 240 V and remains at 187 kA through 440 V, dropping to 121 kA at 500 V and 3.7 kA at 690 V — figures that govern selectivity coordination in high-fault panels. Rated insulation voltage is 800 V, and the breaker holds its full 160 A rating across an ambient range from -25 °C to 70 °C with no derating needed through 70 °C. Maximum power loss is 25.5 W. This MCCB includes communication capability and ground-fault monitoring via summation current formation on the L-conductor. It does not carry an undervoltage release or trip indicator as standard.
Panel fit and dimensions
Dimensions are 181 mm high, 105 mm wide, and 86 mm deep. This 3-pole MCCB mounts on a DIN rail or panel-mount base in a standard distribution enclosure. The 86 mm depth (3.39 in) fits most 200 mm deep cabinets with clearance for rear cable routing.
