The TM210 thermal-magnetic release handles overload and short-circuit trip curves; a factory-integrated shunt trip (STL) allows remote emergency-off or undervoltage disconnection via the 3VA9688-0BL33 auxiliary trip module. Carries the full 16 A up to 50 °C ambient; above that it derates linearly to 14.4 A at 70 °C — a useful curve for hot enclosures or furnace-side installations where the breaker shares space with heat-generating gear. IP40 on the front means it tolerates tool contact but not washdown.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1096-3ED32-0KA0 SENTRON MCCB, 16 A, 75.6 kA at 24","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1096-3ED32-0KA0 molded case circuit breaker, 16 A rated current, 75.6 kA interrupting at 240 V. 3-pole, line protection, TM210 release, shunt trip.
