The interrupting ratings climb to 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, and still holds 10.5 kA at 690 V, so it handles high-fault utility feeds without cascading upstream. The TM240 release is a fixed thermal-magnetic type — no interchangeable rating plugs, so what you order (16 A) is what protects the circuit. That's fine for a BOM line where the load is known and stable; less flexible if you're stocking one breaker for multiple tap sizes. The shunt trip (STL) integrated release lets a remote signal or emergency-stop circuit open the breaker independently of the overcurrent element — useful in safety circuits or remote shutdown schemes. Above that, it starts to taper: 15.36 A at 55 °C, 15.04 A at 60 °C, 14.72 A at 65 °C, and 14.4 A at 70 °C. Dimensions are 130 mm high, 76.2 mm wide, and 70 mm deep — a standard SENTRON 3VA footprint that drops into a DIN-rail or screw-mounted panel grid. The integrated auxiliary trip uses order code 3VA9688-0BL30 — that's the factory-installed shunt trip module, not a field-addon kit. If you need undervoltage release or phase-failure detection, this variant doesn't carry them; those are separate order codes in the 3VA family.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1196-3EF32-0HH0 SENTRON MCCB, 16 A, 3-Pole, 75.6","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1196-3EF32-0HH0 molded case circuit breaker, 16 A rated, 3-pole, 75.6 kA at 240 V.
