Breaking capacity is 75.6 kA at 240 V, stepping down to 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 7.5 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. That means on a 480 V system you get the 440 V figure (32 kA) as the closest — enough for most commercial panelboards but verify against your available fault current. The auxiliary switch configuration (1 auxiliary + 1 trip alarm switch HQ) occupies the accessory slot.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1096-3ED32-0AF0 SENTRON MCCB, 3P 16A 75.6kA","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1096-3ED32-0AF0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 3-pole, 16 A rated at 40 °C, 75.6 kA breaking at 240 V.

The difference is the rating: the 3VA1096 is a 16 A TM210, while the 3VA1020 carries a higher amp rating.
