The integrated undervoltage release (UVR) drops the breaker if control voltage is lost, a common requirement for safety circuits and emergency-stop chains. ## Interrupting performance across voltage levels Interrupting capacity is not a single number; it drops as system voltage rises. At 415 V this MCCB still handles 75.6 kA, at 440 V it's 52.5 kA, and at 500 V or 690 V it holds at 11.9 kA. That 11.9 kA floor at 690 V is still well above typical fault levels in 690 V industrial networks, but the 121 kA at 240 V is what makes it a strong choice for high-fault 240 V panelboards. ## Built-in auxiliary switching and release Factory-fitted with 2 auxiliary switches plus a trip alarm switch (HQ), so you get remote status of the breaker position and a separate signal for trip events. The undervoltage release (UVR) is included — no separate ordering or field installation needed. Width is 76.2 mm (3 in), depth 70 mm (2.76 in), height 130 mm (5.12 in) — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint for DIN-rail or panel-mount installation.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1096-4ED32-0DH0 SENTRON MCCB, 3-Pole, 16 A, 121 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1096-4ED32-0DH0 molded case circuit breaker, 3-pole, 16 A rated, 121 kA interrupting at 240 V.
