That 101.6 mm width (4 inches) is a standard 4-pole MCCB footprint — it occupies four 25 mm (1-inch) module spaces on a DIN rail or mounting plate. The front face carries an IP40 protection class, meaning it's protected against tools and wires larger than 1 mm but not sealed against moisture. For a panel rework or retrofit, check that the existing busbar arrangement and phase spacing match a 4-pole device with this width. The rated insulation voltage is 800 V, and the maximum DC operating voltage is 600 V, so it's suitable for DC distribution panels as well — though the manual should be consulted for DC-specific breaking capacity values.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1096-4ED42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 4P, 16 A, 121 kA at","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1096-4ED42-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 4-pole, 16 A rated, TM210 release.
