It's a line-protection version — meaning it's set up for feeder and distribution circuits, not motor protection with adjustable overloads. The 121 kA breaking capacity at 240 V and 75.6 kA at 415 V give it serious fault-clearing muscle for high-available-fault-current panels. That UVR will trip the breaker if control voltage drops below its dropout threshold, which is common for emergency-stop circuits or safety-shutdown chains where loss of control power must open the main. Rated 16 A at ambient up to 50 °C, then it starts to taper: 15.36 A at 55 °C, 15.04 A at 60 °C, 14.72 A at 65 °C, and 14.4 A at 70 °C. The 3VA1096-4ED32-0CH0 is rated for continuous operation from -25 °C to 70 °C ambient, with storage from -40 °C to 80 °C. The front face carries an IP40 protection rating, so it's fine for a dry indoor enclosure but not for washdown environments. The IEC 81346-2 reference code is Q, meaning it's classified as a switching device in the system designation standard.","metaTitle":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1096-4ED32-0CH0 MCCB, 16 A, 3-pole, 121 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1096-4ED32-0CH0 molded case circuit breaker, 16 A, 3-pole, breaking capacity 121 kA at 240 V.
