In a sealed panel with internal heat rise, the 55 °C column is the realistic operating point for most industrial enclosures — plan for 15.36 A continuous, not the 16 A nameplate. Footprint is 130 mm high, 76.2 mm wide, 70 mm deep — a standard SENTRON 3VA frame that fits the DIN-rail mounting grid. ## Auxiliary contacts and lifecycle This variant ships with three HQ auxiliary switches integrated — no separate aux contact block to order. The auxiliary contact version is stated as 3 auxiliary switches HQ, which provides status feedback for the main contacts without adding wiring layers. For a line-protection MCCB that cycles infrequently — typically fewer than a few hundred operations per year — this is adequate. It is not designed for frequent switching duty like a contactor. No phase-out or last-time-buy notice is indicated for this order code.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1096-3ED32-0AD0 SENTRON MCCB, 16 A, 75.6 kA at 24","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1096-3ED32-0AD0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 16 A rated continuous current, 75.6 kA breaking capacity at 240 V.
