Product details

That makes it a straight swap-in for a fixed-trip main breaker where you don't need curve tuning or remote signaling. Rated 160 A continuous at 40 °C, it holds that full rating through 50 °C before starting a gradual derating curve — 158 A at 55 °C, 155 A at 60 °C, 153 A at 65 °C, and 150 A at 70 °C. In a hot enclosure (say, a non-ventilated panel near a furnace line) you lose only 10 A at the top of the operating range, so the thermal margin is solid for most industrial floors. Short-circuit breaking capacity is what drives the coordination study. At 240 V it clears 187 kA; at 415 V it's still 121 kA; at 440 V it drops to 76 kA; at 500 V it holds 17 kA. If your service entrance is a 480 V delta or 400 V wye with a transformer upstream that can deliver over 100 kA fault current, this breaker covers it without cascading to a current-limiting fuse. No undervoltage release, no voltage trip, no ground-fault module, no communication function. It's a basic, high-capacity main breaker: wire it, torque it, forget it.

The 70 mm depth means it fits enclosures with shallow back-pan clearance (typical 4-inch gutters clear it easily). No IP65 or higher rating on the body; keep it inside a sealed cabinet if the environment is wet or dusty.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings for 3VM1116-5EE32-0AA0?

160 A continuous at 40 °C, 3-pole, TM220 thermal-magnetic release. Breaking capacity: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 76 kA at 440 V, 17 kA at 500 V. Insulation voltage rated 800 V.

Where can I buy 3VM1116-5EE32-0AA0 and get current pricing?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a request for quote; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

Will 3VM1116-5EE32-0AA0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA1112-5EE32-0AA0?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON MCCBs in the same physical family, so the mounting footprint and bus-bar spacing are the same. The functional difference is the TM220 release on this 3VM versus the TM210 or other release on the 3VA variant — verify the trip curve matches your coordination study before swapping.

What compliance documentation exists for this MCCB?

As a Siemens SENTRON product, it carries CE marking for the European market and is designed to IEC 60947-2. UL and CSA listings are typical for this series but verify the specific suffix on the nameplate. RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Siemens documentation.
