The interrupting capacity is 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, and 32 kA at 440 V, with a floor of 7.5 kA at 500 V and 690 V. ## What the interrupting ratings mean for panel coordination At 415 V (common in industrial 400 VAC systems), the 52.5 kA rating still provides substantial headroom for most distribution panels. The drop to 7.5 kA at 500 V and 690 V means this breaker is not intended for 690 V main feeds unless the prospective short-circuit current is verified below that threshold. ## Built-in undervoltage release — what it controls The auxiliary switch complement is two HQ auxiliary switches, providing status feedback for the breaker position (open/closed/tripped) to a PLC or indication lamp. There is no communication function or ground-fault monitoring on this unit. ## Panel integration — dimensions and mounting The MCCB measures 130 mm height, 76.2 mm width, and 70 mm depth — a standard 3-pole SENTRON 3VA footprint that fits Siemens panelboards and distribution blocks.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1096-3ED32-0DC0 SENTRON MCCB, 16A, 75.6kA at 240V","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1096-3ED32-0DC0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 3-pole, 16A rated at 40°C, interrupting capacity 75.6kA at 240V.
