Rated insulation voltage is 800 V, and breaking capacity runs 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, and 32 kA at 440 V — numbers that matter for fault-current coordination studies on the secondary side of a distribution transformer. Three-pole, line-side and load-side lugs accept standard panel wiring. No trip indicator, so fault diagnosis relies on the breaker handle position or a downstream meter. Width 76.2 mm (3 in), depth 70 mm (2.76 in), height 130 mm (5.12 in). That 3-inch width matches the standard 3-pole MCCB footprint in most North American and European panelboards — no adapter plate needed for a typical cutout. Verify busbar spacing against your existing distribution block before committing the BOM line. ## Power loss and thermal budget Maximum power loss is 10.6 W at rated current. That figure feeds into the panel heat budget — for a multi-breaker enclosure, sum the losses against the enclosure's dissipation curve to avoid nuisance tripping from ambient rise.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1096-3ED32-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 16A 3-Pole, TM210","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1096-3ED32-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 16A rated at 40°C, 3-pole, TM210 release, 75.6kA at 240V.
