If the enclosure ambient exceeds 50 °C, the breaker must be derated per the table — a common oversight in non-ventilated cabinets. ## Physical fit and auxiliary contact configuration This unit ships with 4 auxiliary switches (HQ type) pre-installed, providing status feedback for remote monitoring or PLC inputs. Front protection is IP40 — suitable for dry indoor panels; not rated for washdown environments.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1196-3EF32-0AE0 SENTRON MCCB, 16 A, 75.6 kA","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1196-3EF32-0AE0 molded case circuit breaker, 16 A rated, 75.6 kA breaking at 240 V.
