Siemens 3VA1116-4EF36-0AA0 MCCB 3P 160 A 36 kA | Molded Case Circuit Breaker

The Siemens 3VA1116-4EF36-0AA0 is a 3-pole 160 A molded case circuit breaker with 36 kA breaking capacity and a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. It protects main incomers, feeders, motors and distribution boards against overload and short circuit in residential towers, commercial buildings and factories.

Key features

• Fixed thermal-magnetic protection with factory-set thresholds
• Breaking capacity 36 kA suitable for main and sub-main boards
• Rotary or toggle operation with clear ON/OFF/TRIP indication
• Wide range of accessories: shunt trip, undervoltage release, auxiliary contacts, rotary handles and motor operators
• Front-connected terminals for cables or busbars

Technical specifications

Typical applications

• Main incomers of buildings and distribution boards
• Feeders to sub-main boards, elevators and pumps
• Generator and transformer outgoing circuits
• Motor control centres and industrial panels
• ATS and changeover panels

Selection and installation tips

Select the MCCB rated current from the design load and cable ampacity, check that the breaking capacity (Icu) exceeds the prospective short-circuit current at the installation point, and choose an adjustable or electronic trip unit when selectivity with downstream breakers is required.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an MCCB and an MCB?

MCCBs cover higher currents (typically 16–1600 A), higher breaking capacities and often adjustable protection, while MCBs are modular devices up to about 125 A for final circuits.

What does Icu mean?

Icu is the ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity – the highest fault current the breaker can safely interrupt.
