That means it handles warm panel environments without losing headroom. Interrupting capacity is the headline here: 52.5 kA at 240 V, dropping to 32 kA at 415 V, and still 7.5 kA at 690 V. That's serious fault-clearing ability for a 16 A frame — it will safely interrupt a high-energy short without cascading upstream. This breaker occupies a 101.6 mm wide, 130 mm tall, 70 mm deep footprint — standard for the 3VA family. It's a panel-mount device, not a DIN-rail snap-on, so you'll need to account for mounting hardware and bus-bar connections. ## What the TM210 trip means for coordination The TM210 designation means a thermal-magnetic trip with a fixed thermal pickup at 16 A and a magnetic short-circuit pickup that's adjustable across a range (typically 5–10x In for this family).","metaTitle":"SENTRON 3VA1096-2ED46-0AA0 4-Pole MCCB, 16 A, 52.5 kA at 240","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1096-2ED46-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 4-pole, 16 A, TM210 trip, 52.5 kA at 240 V.
