Product details

The Siemens 3VA2116-7JQ42-0AA0 is a 4-pole SENTRON molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 160 A continuous at 40 °C, with an ETU560 electronic trip unit. It's a line-protection breaker meant for distribution panels where you need selective coordination downstream — the 330 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V AC gives you headroom for high-fault service entrances or transformer secondaries, and it still holds 242 kA at 415 V and 440 V, dropping to 3.7 kA at 690 V.

The ETU560 is a communicating electronic trip unit, so this breaker talks to your building management or SCADA system for load monitoring and trip-event capture. The N-conductor protection is adjustable from OFF to 20 % to 100 % of the phase rating, which matters if you're feeding a nonlinear load with high triplen harmonics on the neutral.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 3VA2116-7JQ42-0AA0 and get a price?

This breaker is sourced to order through our independent distribution channel. Submit an RFQ with your target quantity and we'll confirm availability and current pricing at quote time — no runaround, just a straight number for your BOM.

What is the 3VA2116-7JQ42-0AA0's interrupting capacity at 240 V?

It's rated for 330 kA at 240 V AC, which gives you ample headroom for high-fault-capacity service entrances or utility transformer secondaries.

Will the 3VA2116-7JQ42-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around the 3VA2110-7HK42-0AA0?

Both are 4-pole SENTRON 3VA2 frame breakers with the same mounting footprint, so physical fit is the same. The main difference is the current rating — this one is 160 A versus the 3VA2110's lower rating — and the trip unit (ETU560 here). If your panel was wired and braced for the lower-current frame, check that the bus bars and lugs handle the 160 A continuous before swapping.
