This MCCB carries its full 16 A rating from 40 °C up through 50 °C ambient. At 55 °C it derates to 15.36 A, at 60 °C to 15.04 A, and at 70 °C to 14.4 A. For a panel running hot near the top of a crowded enclosure, that derating curve is what determines whether the breaker holds a 16 A load without nuisance tripping. Width is 76.2 mm, depth 70 mm, height 130 mm.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1096-4ED32-0KA0 SENTRON MCCB, 16 A, 3-Pole, 121 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1096-4ED32-0KA0 molded case circuit breaker, 16 A rated, 3-pole, line protection with TM210 release.
