Product details

It carries a rated continuous current Iu of 160 A and delivers interrupting ratings that step down with voltage: 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V AC, 76 kA at 440 V AC, and 17 kA at 500 V AC — the 240 V figure is the headline for high-fault panels. The TM220 release provides LI protection (thermal overload Ir adjustable 112–160 A, magnetic fixed at 10 x In).

Ambient temperature derating is already baked into the spec: full 160 A from 40 °C up to 50 °C, then steps down to 158 A at 55 °C, 155 A at 60 °C, 153 A at 65 °C, and 150 A at 70 °C. No neutral conductor upgrade or auxiliary contact kit is available on this variant — plan separate neutral and alarm wiring if needed.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VM1116-5EE36-0AA2?

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

What is the interrupting rating of 3VM1116-5EE36-0AA2 at 240 V?

187 kA at 240 V AC, stepping down to 121 kA at 415 V, 76 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 500 V.

Does 3VM1116-5EE36-0AA2 drop into a panel specified for 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0?

No — the 3VA1 series uses a different trip unit platform (electronic vs. thermal-magnetic) and has different accessory provisions. The 3VM1 is not a mechanical or electrical drop-in for a 3VA1 panel layout.

What compliance documentation is available for 3VM1116-5EE36-0AA2?

As a Siemens SENTRON IEC breaker, it carries CE marking and is designed to meet IEC 60947-2. RoHS and REACH declarations are standard from the manufacturer; specific certificates can be requested at quote time.
