Breaking capacity steps down with voltage: 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at 500/690 V. The absence of a trip indicator means you will not get a visual flag on the breaker face; fault isolation relies on the downstream load status. Dimensions are 76.2 mm wide, 130 mm high, 70 mm deep — a 3-pole MCCB that fits standard SENTRON mounting feet on a DIN rail or panel-mount adapter. The 70 mm depth is shallower than many 3-pole MCCBs in this class, which helps in shallow back-box enclosures. Maximum power loss is 13.1 W. The built-in undervoltage release means you cannot remove it without replacing the entire breaker. If your application needs a shunt trip instead of a UVR, this is not the variant — look for a 3VA1196-3EF32-0BA0 suffix that specifies a shunt release. The UVR holds the breaker closed only when coil voltage is present; on voltage dip or loss, it trips instantly — a common requirement for safety disconnects on machine feed circuits. The 3VA1196-3EF32-0BA0 replaces the older 3VL and 3VT series in the same footprint. If your BOM currently specifies a 3VA1110-5ED32-0AA0 (a 100 A frame, different rating), the 76.2 mm width is identical — both share the SENTRON 3VA 3-pole mounting footprint, so a swap does not require panel rework. The depth and height are also the same across the 3VA 3-pole family.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1196-3EF32-0BA0 SENTRON MCCB, 16 A, 75.6 kA at 24","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1196-3EF32-0BA0 SENTRON 3-pole molded case circuit breaker.
