Breaking capacity is 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, and 32 kA at 440 V — numbers that put it squarely in the high-interrupting category for industrial feeder and subfeeder duty. At 500 V and 690 V it still delivers 11.9 kA, so it handles motor branch circuits on 480 V delta systems without a problem. Panel builders can plan around 130 mm height. Power loss is 13.1 W maximum — modest enough that ventilation spacing in a typical enclosure is adequate. That covers most indoor and outdoor enclosure environments without special derating. ## Compliance documentation As a Siemens SENTRON product, this MCCB carries the usual compliance package: UL 489, CSA C22.2 No. 5, IEC 60947-2, and CE marking. RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Siemens documentation portals.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1196-3EF32-0DC0 SENTRON MCCB, 16 A, 75.6 kA at 24","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1196-3EF32-0DC0 molded case circuit breaker, 3-pole, 16 A rated at 40 °C, 75.6 kA breaking capacity at 240 V.
