Product details

Siemens SENTRON 3VA2116-8HM42-0AA0 — 160 A MCCB, Line Protection, 4-Pole

Its breaking capacity hits 440 kA at 240 V, 330 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 220 kA at 500 V, and 52.5 kA at 690 V — so it handles high-fault scenarios across common industrial voltages without cascading upstream.

Sizing and Selectivity Notes

This breaker carries a minimum setting of 240 A and a maximum of 1 600 A, with a full-scale value of 160 A and an initial value of 32 A — an electronic trip unit with adjustable long-time pickup. Ground-fault monitoring is built in using summation current formation on L + N, so it can detect residual currents without an external module.
