Four poles handle three-phase plus neutral, and the interrupting capacity hits 330 kA at 240 V, 242 kA at 415 V, and still holds 187 kA at 500 V. That kind of short-circuit rating means it can sit on high-fault panels without cascading upstream breakers — a real advantage in industrial switchboards where available fault current is stiff.
Width of 140 mm means it occupies three 45 mm module spaces on a DIN rail, typical for a 4-pole MCCB in this class.
This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a quote request for current availability and pricing.
The depth is 86 mm (3.39 in).
The width is 140 mm (5.51 in).
Both are 4-pole SENTRON MCCBs in the same physical frame size (181 x 140 x 86 mm), so the footprint is identical. However, the 3VA2116-5HM42-0CC0 may have different internal accessories or trip-unit settings — verify the terminal arrangement and auxiliary contact configuration against your panel wiring diagram before swapping.
As a SENTRON MCCB, this part is designed to meet IEC 60947-2 and UL 489 standards. RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Siemens on request.
