Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-7JP36-0AA0 is a 3-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 up to that ceiling. That 160 A holds steady at 40 °C, 45 °C, 50 °C, 55 °C, 60 °C, 65 °C, and 70 °C, so it's sized for a warm panel without a temperature haircut. The interrupting capacity hits 330 kA at 240 V, 242 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 187 kA at 500 V, and 3.8 kA at 690 V — that 330 kA at 240 V tells you it's built for high-fault industrial services, not light commercial. The ETU550 electronic trip unit gives you adjustable long-time delay (tr) from 0.5 s to 20 s and short-time delay (tsd) up to 0.5 s, so you can coordinate selectively downstream without nuisance tripping on motor inrush.

The 3VA2116-7JP36-0AA0 measures 105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, and 86 mm deep — a 3-pole MCCB that fits standard SENTRON mounting footprints. Front IP40 protection means it's sealed against tools and fingers on the face, but the body isn't rated for washdown — keep it in a dry indoor panel.

The ETU550 release design supports selective coordination. Maximum power loss is 25.5 W at rated current, so account for that in your panel thermal budget.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA2116-7JP36-0AA0 at 240 V?

330 kA at 240 V. At 415 V and 440 V it's 242 kA, at 500 V it's 187 kA, and at 690 V it's 3.8 kA. That 330 kA at 240 V places it in the high-fault industrial class.

Will 3VA2116-7JP36-0AA0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0?

Mechanically yes — same 3VA frame, same 105 mm width, 181 mm height, 86 mm depth. The difference is the trip unit: the 7JP36-0AA0 has the ETU550 with communication function, while the 5JP32-0AE0 lacks that comms capability. If your panel relies on breaker communication, the swap works; if not, the 5JP32-0AE0 is a simpler drop-in.
