Product details

It's rated 160 A continuous (In) with an adjustable thermal overload pickup (Ir) from 112 A to 160 A, and a fixed magnetic short-circuit trip set at 10 times In (Ii = 1600 A).

This breaker bolts into a standard IEC distribution board or a motor control center bucket. The frame 160 footprint is compact enough for a 4-pole unit to squeeze into a 600 mm wide panel section, leaving room for cable glands and busbar connections. The N conductor is unprotected on this variant — that's the "N conductor unprotected" flag in the description — so plan for a separate neutral bar or a 4-pole breaker with a protected neutral if your local code demands it.

The adjustable Ir (112–160 A) lets you fine-tune the overload protection to match the actual load without changing the breaker body, which is handy when the motor FLA doesn't exactly match a standard trip unit.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VM1116-5EE46-0AA2 and how is it quoted?

We source this part through our independent distribution channel and quote it to order against an RFQ. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — send a request with your volume and delivery window.

What is the breaking capacity of this circuit breaker?

It has a rated ultimate breaking capacity (Icu) of 55 kA at 415 V AC, which is class M in Siemens's 3VM series — suitable for medium-fault-level industrial distribution.

What does the N conductor unprotected mean on this part?

It means the neutral pole is not protected by an overcurrent trip — the breaker switches the neutral but does not open it on a fault. If your installation requires a protected neutral (e.g., for a TN-S system with downstream RCDs), you need a different variant or an external neutral protection device.
