The 121 kA breaking capacity at 240 VAC is the headline number, but the real-world fit depends on the available fault current at your service voltage: 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. That means this breaker can sit on a 690 V line with an 11.9 kA SCCR, which covers most motor-control-center applications but not high-fault industrial mains at that voltage. The overcurrent release is a TM210 — thermal-magnetic, fixed at 16 A, with a magnetic trip threshold of 10× In (160 A). That is a standard motor-starting curve: it holds through inrush on a 10–12 A full-load motor but clears a hard short fast. ## Undervoltage release and panel integration The UVR is wired separately from the main power path; verify the coil voltage rating against your control supply before panel wiring. The 3VA frame is a compact 76.2 mm wide, 130 mm tall, and 70 mm deep — three modules wide on a standard DIN rail or panel-mount footprint. At 13.1 W maximum power loss, it sheds heat into the enclosure; in a sealed cabinet above 50 °C, account for the 15 A derating.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1096-4ED32-0BA0 SENTRON MCCB, 16 A, 3-Pole, 121 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1096-4ED32-0BA0 molded case circuit breaker, 16 A rated, 3-pole, 121 kA breaking capacity at 240 VAC.
