Its interrupting capacity is 75.6 kA at 240 V AC, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V — numbers that define the available fault current it can safely clear at the point of installation. ## Built-in undervoltage release for coordinated protection The UVR is factory-integrated, so there's no separate module to mount or wire inside the panel; it's a single order-code solution for applications requiring undervoltage protection per NEC 430.74 or IEC 60947-2. At 70 mm deep, 76.2 mm wide, and 130 mm tall, this MCCB fits standard SENTRON 3VA mounting footprints and drops into existing panel layouts without re-drilling or bus-bar rework. The 3-pole design with 16 A continuous rating and integrated UVR makes it a direct replacement for earlier 3VA1 frame breakers in retrofit applications, provided the existing bus system supports the 76.2 mm pole spacing. ## Thermal-magnetic trip and power dissipation Maximum power loss is 13.1 W per pole, which matters for enclosure heat-load calculations when multiple breakers are ganged in a sealed panel.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1196-3EF32-0CA0 SENTRON MCCB, 3-Pole, 16 A, 75.6","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1196-3EF32-0CA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 3-pole, 16 A rated current, 75.6 kA breaking capacity at 240 V AC.
