That kind of SCCR headroom is what you want when the transformer is big and the fault current is ugly.
Width 105 mm, depth 86 mm, height 181 mm — that footprint matches the standard SENTRON 3VA2 frame. The 160 A rating holds flat from 40 °C to 50 °C, then derates to 154 A at 55 °C and 136 A at 70 °C. If your enclosure runs hot, that derating curve is what you size the breaker against, not the nameplate 160 A.
This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
The depth is 86 mm, width 105 mm, height 181 mm — standard 3VA2 frame dimensions.
As a Siemens SENTRON product, it carries the usual IEC/UL certifications for molded case circuit breakers. Specific RoHS, REACH, UL, and IEC declarations are available from the manufacturer's documentation portal.
