Breaking capacity varies sharply with system voltage: 52.5 kA at 240 V, 32 kA at 415 V, 13.6 kA at 440 V, and 7.5 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. The 52.5 kA figure at 240 V is the headline number — it tells you this breaker can handle high-fault-current scenarios on low-voltage secondary sides of step-down transformers, common in North American 240/120 V distribution. The 3VA1096-2ED32-0JC0 is available to order through independent distribution. The part is not a surplus-only find; it is a standard catalogue item in the SENTRON family. Depth of 70 mm (2.76 in) leaves room for rear-access wiring and busbar connections in a typical 200 mm deep enclosure. ## Integrated accessories and design","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1096-2ED32-0JC0 SENTRON MCCB, 16 A, 52.5 kA at 24","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1096-2ED32-0JC0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 3-pole, 16 A rated at 40 °C, 52.5 kA breaking capacity at 240 V.
