Product details

What this breaker is and what it handles

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-7HL42-0AA0 is a 4-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 160 A continuous current across the full 40 °C to 70 °C ambient range — no derating needed in a warm panel. It carries a 330 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V, dropping to 242 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then 187 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V.

The 140 mm width for a 4-pole frame is typical for this class — check your existing busbar or lug spacing if you're retrofitting into a panel cut for a narrower 3-pole breaker. Front IP40 protection means it's fine for dry indoor panels; no washdown rating.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB at 415 V?

At 415 V the interrupting rating is 242 kA. That same 242 kA holds at 440 V, then drops to 187 kA at 500 V and 3.7 kA at 690 V. At 240 V it peaks at 330 kA.

What trip unit does the 3VA2116-7HL42-0AA0 use?

It uses the ETU320 electronic trip unit. That gives you adjustable long-time, short-time, and instantaneous protection — suitable for selective coordination with downstream breakers.

Where can I buy 3VA2116-7HL42-0AA0?

This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.
