That 16 A holds flat through 55 °C — only a 1 A derate kicks in at 60 °C — so it handles warm enclosures without upsizing. The interrupting ratings climb to 121 kA at 240 V and 75.6 kA at 415 V, which puts it well above typical 25 kA or 36 kA panelboard SCCR requirements; you get headroom for high-fault utility feeds or transformer secondaries. ## Sourcing and lifecycle — current production, no LTB clock This MPN is listed in current lifecycle status, meaning Siemens has no published end-of-life or last-time-buy notice. The 3VA1096-4ED46-0AA0 measures 130 mm tall, 101.6 mm wide, and 70 mm deep. The 101.6 mm width (4 inches) is standard for a 4-pole SENTRON frame; it occupies one 4-inch mounting slot on the DIN-rail adapter or the panel-mounting plate. ## Power loss and thermal budget Maximum power loss is 10.6 W at rated current. In a sealed panel with multiple breakers, that loss adds to the internal heat rise; plan your thermal derating per the 60 °C curve if the ambient inside the enclosure exceeds 55 °C.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1096-4ED46-0AA0 SENTRON 4-Pole MCCB, 16 A, TM210,","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1096-4ED46-0AA0 4-pole MCCB, 16 A continuous rating, TM210 release, 121 kA at 240 V.
