The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-7HM36-0AA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated 160 A continuous, with a flat thermal derating curve that holds 160 A all the way to 70 °C — no headroom loss at elevated panel temperatures. Interrupting capacity is 330 kA at 240 V, dropping to 242 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 187 kA at 500 V, and 3.7 kA at 690 V. The design is line protection — not motor circuit protection — so it's a feeder breaker, not a combination starter element.
What the 3VA2116-7HM36-0AA0 does not carry
This is a plain line-protection MCCB — no bells, no remote monitoring, no shunt trip. If your spec calls for an undervoltage coil or Modbus communication, this is not the variant.
