Product details

SENTRON 3VM1116-4EE42-0AA0 — 160 A MCCB with TM220 Release

The Siemens 3VM1116-4EE42-0AA0 is a SENTRON molded case circuit breaker rated for line protection, carrying a continuous current of 160 A up to 50 °C before the thermal curve begins to bite — at 55 °C it's still good for 158 A, and it holds 150 A all the way to 70 °C. That's a shallow derate slope, meaning you can pack it into a warm panel without losing much headroom. Four poles, TM220 thermal-magnetic release with an adjustable li of 1600 A for the magnetic trip. Rated insulation voltage Ui of 690 V, max DC operational voltage of 500 V.

Sizing and Thermal Reality Check

At 55 °C you lose 2 A; at 70 °C you're at 150 A. Dimensions are 101.6 mm wide by 130 mm tall by 70 mm deep — a 4-pole MCCB that fits standard DIN-rail or screw-mount patterns.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VM1116-4EE42-0AA0 at different voltages?

121 kA at 240 V, 76 kA at 415 V, 53 kA at 440 V, and 12 kA at 500 V AC. The 415 V figure is the one that matters for most European industrial distribution panels.

Will 3VM1116-4EE42-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1112-5EE32-0AA0?

Not without checking the mounting footprint and busbar spacing — the 3VM series is a different frame generation from the 3VA. The 3VM1116 is 101.6 mm wide versus the 3VA1112's different width; verify the cutout and terminal centers before swapping.

Where can I buy 3VM1116-4EE42-0AA0 and get current pricing?
