The 16 A rating holds steady through 50 °C and only begins to derate above 55 °C, down to 14.4 A at 70 °C. That means in a warm panel — say 55 °C ambient — you still get 15.36 A of continuous rating, so the breaker doesn't nuisance-trip on a lightly loaded feeder. Breaking capacity drops with voltage: 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 7.5 kA at 690 V. For a 400 V system, the 52.5 kA figure is what matters — it covers most industrial service-entrance and sub-feed applications. Width at 76.2 mm is a standard 3-module footprint on DIN rail, so it swaps into existing SENTRON or 3VA cutouts without panel modification. The 15 000-cycle latching endurance is typical for a 16 A MCCB on resistive or light motor loads.","metaTitle":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1096-3ED32-0JC0 MCCB, 16 A, 3-pole, 70 mm","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1096-3ED32-0JC0 molded case circuit breaker, 16 A rated continuous current, 3-pole, breaking capacity 75.6 kA at 240 V.
