The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2216-0MS32-0AA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 160 A continuous current across the full ambient range from -25 °C to 70 °C, so no derating curve to chase for standard panel temperatures. The ETU310M electronic trip unit provides motor-protection curves, so it is sized for motor branch circuits rather than general distribution.
